That's why I said MMOs are different and that I would understand there being a monthly fee :D

but yeah most of the servers are run and payed for by players/clans etc.



Maybe Huxley can have certain battlefields payed for by clans!

Correct me if i'm wrong but I assume that with each battlefield being instanced, each battlefield is on it's own server. So maybe a clan could pay for that certain server and get to put a picture of their clan up in the battlefield or something lol.

I really don't know much about servers at all so I'm just throwing stuff out there.
