Volumatic sales bring down the cost of a product.

Say that stefan and unixmad's hosting cost is 200 euros a month, and 100 players each have a gold account costing them 45 to 40 euros a year. That is 4000 a year, whcih is around 300 euros a month for them, 100 euros profit.

Now lets say their hosting costs are ALOT more, say 1000 euros a month, and lets say there are 4000 users with gold or vip accounts. They need to have at least a classic account to have a vip, which means theres at the very least 40 euros per person, which is 160,000 a year, which is around 13,333 euros a month, minus stefan and unixmad's salaries, probably around 2 to 3 k a month, it still leaves them with around 7000 euros profit.

this is a very rough esitmate, and i doubt that they make that much money, but with the playerworld hosting monies added on top of that, stefan and unixmad are making ALOT of money, and a plan such as the one suggested would not kill their business.


[edit]

according to graal.us there are around 650 players logging on on average.

650 players with gold or vip coming to 44 dollars per person, 44 * 650 = 28600 a year.

28600 / 12 months = 2383 a month roughly. It may not be enough to power their tidy salaries, but it is quite enough to support a business.
