Hey Caps, small update.
Was gonna make a server where you could fight along sides with bots (Oliveran's intelligent AI) and have multiple events. It would make a full server around the clock, so for everyone at all time zones to enjoy. In addition I was going to setup a statistical webpage and further the interactiveness with that (most headshots, most exotic weapon of the week, players with evil horses [afterdeath kills], ..).
Though, I keep getting demotivated by a select few people in the warband scene. So much that my motivation to further contribute is gone.
Maybe I'll pick this up in the future or maybe someone else can implement this idea.
For those who are interested, let me help you out at least with what I've got to work so far:

Estimated cost about 20 bucks a month.
Cheapest option out there at the moment is Linode for full server control(https://www.linode.com)
If you're going without the webpage and just want a server, google companies that host as they tend to be cheaper. You're access will be limited to FTP and from what I've encountered, a very sandboxed environment.
