How is it cost prohibitive to run a server? With the recent FCC rule change now even Comcast gives everyone 20 Mb/s upload. Even at 64 players, that's over 300 kb/s per client, which should be plenty?
A modern mid-range phone is probably more powerful than any server 20 years ago and those ran 64 players.
