STW/MI. EA did rund the server. No idea, but whats so hard to run a server for such games?
I did run 5 server on my own for NWN and the server did hold around 350 Player in their peaks, while the amount of dates was hundred times higher, this cant be a problem.
As far i know, the server just create the game and get the player together, once the battle started, the game runs on the host. Or im wrong?

Anyway, this cant be about money, i just cant believe that. Some server and the traffic for a game like TW is nothing.
