at the start of a tour somone with no sorties has a rank of about 4900
id guess that somewhere around 5000 people are registered.
im no business guru but with that number:
$14.95 x 5000 = $74,750
- about $4,000 a month for the T1 or T3 connection
- another $10,000 for basic expenses keeping all the servers and equipment running (electricity and stuff)
- another $5,000 maybe for the lease of the office space
$55,750 left (but i'll bet i left a TON out.)
7 employees all paid evenly (is HiTech generous? he seems like maybe he is
)
$7,964.29 a month each or about $95,000 a year (thats not a ton now a days considering i didnt take out taxes or insurance and stuff) i also didn't put any money back into the company (for buying new servers and stuff.
now go back 2 years and have 1/2 the player base. i'm guessing they were cranking out this spectacular game for less than a McDonalds cook's salary.
