I posted this a while ago, and it's probably outdated, but a UT2004 server for 16-32 players costs between 40$ to 100$ per month.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

Yeah you're probably right. Like I said, I don't really know anything about servers so I thought I'd just throw it out there.
Maybe clans could just pay a little bit of money every month and their picture/logo/whatever could be put up. And multiple clans could have their picture put up in different parts of the battlefield.
I'm not saying this would cover the entire cost of the server but maybe a little of it, and if enough clans do it maybe our monthly fee could go down a bit.
Again I don't really know what I'm talking about so I'm just throwing stuff out there for discussion.
And yeah I'm pretty sure most of us have come to terms with the fact that Huxley will probably have a monthly fee.
But still, there are MMOs that are not only free to download, but free to play. Especially those MMOs that started out as pay to play but then flopped.
Take Archlord for example. When the game released you had to not only buy the game but also pay monthly to play. Now it's a free download and there's no monthly fee. So there are ways to run MMOs without monthly fees, they just usually aren't very good, and of course we all want Huxley to be awesome and to be kept up to date. Which is why I'd expect (and be willing to pay) a monthly fee.
