I don't understand why people have an issue with them declining members to host it. Do you know these people? Do you know how reliable they are? Do you know that they won't just take things off-line whenever they want or will always be there to reset it when needed? Do you know that these people won't throw a hissy fit and just pull the plug because they're immature and selfish?
I'm backing the EQEmu heads on this, as they have the most reasonable solution. It's not a 'now' solution, but it's a 'get it done' solution.
Oh, and as I understand it, the people who are offer private logins servers are also the ones who were behind the DoS attacks. They did it to prove a point, which is reckless and immature and denied players days of gameplay. They could have just pointed it out without exploiting it, but they chose not to. There is absolutely no way I would trust these people.
Again, this is my opinion of limited knowledge of the situation. This is a FREE service as an alternative to a paid service. Some people need to grow up and move on instead of throwing fits over downtime. It happens.
