I'm too lazy to check but the last time I ordered 6 months of a Playerworld, the cost was 56 dollars. I am only going to assume the price has gone up since then, so let's say it's 60 dollars for 6 months.
By running 10 Playerworlds on one machine, they are already breaking even.
Running any more playerworlds on the same machine results in a profit.
I believe a Gold account now runs for something like 50 dollars a year, meaning only 24 players would need to maintain a gold account to keep the Classic/Gold servers afloat.
All this said, I believe Graal is already running on adequate servers given the fact that it has the least downtime of any online game I've ever played before, but I do wonder if perhaps players are being gouged on accounts.
