Now, I hate to be a negative nancy, but I don't think running out of room on the your "server" would be an issue. When you look at the shear number of MMORPGs (2d and 3d) available, it would be VERY difficult to gather a large enough player base that you would run out of capacity. Another difficulty in keeping players, is server down time. In order for people to connect, your PC needs to be on, connected to the internet and running the server. People are less likely to play if they can only play when you are hosting (so you would need to keep the server running at all times) Also, I think RMXP is a TERRIBLE platform for any kind of MMO. The idea of say, making a RMXP game that players can connect directly to each other and play together or something simple like that; I think would be a great idea. But in terms of Massive Multiplayer Online Games, would be better off running on actual dedicated server computers; and built in a different engine. You also have to think of security and hackers, I am not sure if Netplay has any built-in security features, but by the looks of it, it doesn't look very secure and probably wouldn't take much for someone who knows how NetPlay/Networking in general works, to cause some damage to either your or other player's PCs. BUT, don't let me get in the way of any plans you have, that's just my opinion on the matter (and in actuality, I wouldn't play ANY MMO that wasn't made by a team of professional game developers anyways) and if you still choose to go with this, I wish you all the luck.
