I haz an idea!!!

Due to my extremely lax work environment I can address all these issues at once.
On not having enough money / subscribers: Using a conservative estimate of $7 net revenue per month per subscription (after paying rent of course). We'd need 358 subs per $30,000 annual salary, assuming and additional $30,000 annual for operating costs, and the starting team consisting of 1 developer, 1 writer, 1 web coder (For forums and the like), and 1 PR guy (advertising, public relations, dealing with Sony/WB, Etc.) and you're looking at annual costs of $180,000 you'd need 25,714 subscribers.

...

25,714.

I just did the math, that's alot bigger of a number than I'd expected. Sure you could maybe cut down on staff (PR guy, pfft), try to resurrect the old mega city billboard add scheme, and try to drum up subs though a recommendation program (you know for every 3 people that you recommend who pay for a month of play time you get a free month). But that's still heavy costs.


Oh, and the idea makes no mention of MxOEMU (which I'd really like to see happen) So unless whoever gets pitched to decides to do some research and stumbles across this forum, there's no worry.
