I can honestly say that 100% of all MxO Subscriptions go towards MxO.

So how close are things to not being able to afford the server bandwidth?
Virrago can barely manage to show up once a week to spawn a few npc's at mara , really does nothing but monitor forums , and claims to know how SOE spends it's $$ vis a vi mxo subscribers. Sure. Next he'll try to sell someone a bridge in Brooklyn. The pollyanish view that things are ok here is absurd. People criticising SOE are doing so in the hopes they will get SOE to CARE ABOUT THE MXO!!! If you don't see that you are blind. Other mmo's have player bases and customer support. MXO does not and WILL not unless you stand up for yourselves and demand it.

Actually, no, I can't.
I don't mean to be offensive but I'm not sure that's good enough.
I bet all the subs go straight to Virrago, Dracomet, 9mmfu and anyone else still in our office. They're just sitting on piles of individually signed 15$ checks counting into the 200's in number (not cash value).
XD, but no, I can only imagine the amount of electricity for the computers, and servers plus cooling systems, maintenence payments and just paying these 3 to five guys a decent amount must cost from those subs.

Dracomet and 9mmfu are working on the Agency now, so it's just Virrago that's sitting on our phat $15 checks.

Actually, that isn't part of my job description really... I just do it because I thought you guys enjoyed it. If no one enjoys my visits I can stop doing it.

Pay no attention to him, Virrago. It's greatly appreciated and encouraged. In fact, you should take over the city some time with uber spawns.
ok maby not the hampster but the rest of it aint free.

Oh that's Tseng's self portrait
lets call that a visual representation of 9mmfu and dracomet
Well apparently they're working for The Agency now and MxO's subs don't go into funding that. Rarebit didn't work for free and the price has not been reduced since his departure...
On a side note, I think pretty much everyone appreciates what Virrago does in game and on the forums to provide a little entertainment or distraction every now and again.
