There has been a number of posts in other sections of spectrum that touched on private servers and this got me thinking. I know that CIG has said private servers will be a sub set of the verse and more limited. Depending on how they plan to do it, they could tale a leaf out of Atlas, were you can servers hosting a group of inland (in our case systems) and you can link them together to create a bigger play area. This way, a group of players could fund a larger private verse that is to big for a single sever (virtualised or physical). We already have the wormhole mechanic for transferring between systems that would work for server transfer. We may have to dedicate some servers for admin to deal with the larger numbers. But CIG could get it to work if they wanted.
