    I think to hire someone to make a 2D MMORPG game.And If I found expenses reasonable,I will start this project in my country.
    The question of this thread is which types of servers required for MMORPG's and what is the monthly expense for these?
    Also you can say all the things you know about running a MMORPG ;)

    I ran a small MMOG, under 50 players and the load on the server was tremendous. You'll need a very power server or server cluster. Given all the headaches I had on this small one, I'm not going to try to run one again. I'd estimate the minimum requirements for a dedicated server at about $250 - $300 per month.

    Yeah you also need very good bandwidth if it's real-time... Cogent might not cut it... I hope you've got some money to play with :)
