Welcome to Dev Shed. Please visit the Rules/Guidelines forum and read "How to post a question" before starting another thread. Your first thread has an aweful thread title, but this one's pretty good. However, we ask that you don't cross-post either. I have reported your first post; it will be deleted soon. You will most likely also receive a cross-post alert, which is really there for us to keep track and provide you with information.


You need a server in a data center so you can get good bandwidth, particularly on the upstream. You need a server with good hardware specs. You need somebody to maintain that server, preferably somebody with experience running a game server. You need somebody to support your users. You need somebody to market your product. Your product needs to have an edge over other similar products.
