Cool idea, but how will you maintain/pay for MMO servers?

Donations perhaps? This will not be a problem until the game becomes popular I think.

The game would be self-hosted, so no central company would have to pay all the servers. If you like the game, it makes sense to start a server. How each server finances themselves is their own decision.

Some instances may run on autonomous server collectives, some will be donation-based... maybe someone even demands a fee per account, lol. There are enough admins who can spare 50€/month to run a server which they want to be used by people.

I like the idea of playing it in a browser. You have a few broser tabs - one for the 3D world, one for menus, one for Fakebook, one for the Mastodon instance... and maybe a bunch of tabs for ingame content.

Nice, you have a lot of ideas. How about cybernetic implants (that mainly the rich can afford)?

It's included - see "Physical Augmentations" in the research trees.

Maybe some which only the rich can afford, some which make workers more effective, and are kind of forced...
