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.
An idea, but I doubt a clan would pay between 100$-1000$ to have their logo in-game for a month. Then again, I doubt that would actually pay the server costs.

I posted this a while ago, and it's probably outdated, but a UT2004 server for 16-32 players costs between 40$ to 100$ per month. Imagine 200 players?

That being said, I don't think Webzen has neither the infrastructure nor the budget to completely remove the idea of any sort of monthly profit.
