In theory, this could be a very good system. Then you realize it would mean that the people in charge of Valikorlia would be paid.

Payment would be based on average users per month.. other factors could be worked in, such as quality of the server, server costs, etc..

The payment could be calculated like:

Every hour the number of players for the pw is logged
After 24 hours the average is taken from the 24 numbers
After 31 days (or however many days are in that month) the average is taken of all the day totals.

This would also make it easy to catch cheaters in the system, such as large fluctuations at weird times, etc.

I think the owner would probably want to pay their staff, because I'm sure if one owner pays their staff, the other staff from other pw's are going to demand payment or take their skills elsewhere..
