To echo an older sentiment of mine; if you cannot afford to host your own shit, don't expect others to pay for your hobby. I pity the people who pay out the nose for "professional hosting" when 1/2 the time, a cable modem will do the job.

WoWScape and their ilk, I imagine, require tons of bandwidth... so in that respect more than your residential service is required. But still. How can anyone turn an emulator (read: half-assed, half-finished, bug-ridden, unprofessional "copy" of something else) into a profit machine and sleep well at night? It boggles the mind.

My god, I am opinionated.
