Has this ever occured to anyone else?
I run my own Servers for just about everything on dedicated linux boxes.
Couldnt a Sim be ran on our own server thereby alleviating the pain on LL?
Couldnt it still rent its location in the "world" but handle its activity on the server app running on my machine? Using my cpu cycles and my bandwidth.
For anyone who thinks Im talking about hosting a sim on my home computer w/ a cable modem just stop reading now u have no clue what im saying.
Im just saying.. that by allowing a potential SIM-owner to run a server binary on a host machine supplied by them... instead of part of the LL farm... couldnt we drastically reduce the cost of SIM ownership? The only Fee being that of operating said host machine and a payment to LL for them linking our host into the "world"?
I cant be the only person who has thought of this....
