I am planning on having my own server more than likely and would definitely consider going in on the cost with some people as long as I can trust them to uphold their end. By uphold their end, I mean be a reasonable yet fair admin and be able to maintain your responsibility towards contributing toward the success both payments(if needed, depends on cost really) and developing the community. Of course.. can't say 100% when I'll be going full speed ahead on this plan until launch of the game and server rentals but I'm definitely going to be pursuing my own. Anyone who is serious about it and is looking for someone to work with to make one hell of a community, feel free to message me.
Also, I do plan to be on the police side of things so I could use someone on the criminal side to counter balance my point of views if they get too biased
