1. There are no server costs, unless you plan on making a huge stable server (like Winters Roar or Guild Wars). The only cost is hardware and bandwidth, EQEmu is free.
2. I'm hosting a MiniLogin server on a P4 2.2Ghz, 512RAM and playing off the same comp. usually around 3 or 4 players max. Everything runs smoothly. The big problem is zone.exe - it is quite CPU and RAM intensive if you start having 5+ players.
3. Around 4Mb for EQEmu, 20Mb for SQL, 40Mb for DB, 30Mb for Perl, 5Mb for utilities/tools (Admin etc). 100Mb tops, I'd say.
