Good idea.
Bad idea.
It's one that you'll never win either way.
I'd happily pay it - After playing LOF I know how much effort you put into the server and how you actually listen to the players when it's genuine feedback.
My question to you though -
Lets say you get 30 people willing and do pay the £3 a month.
What happens if 15 of those players after a month decide not to continue? Thus making you out of pocket on the hosting etc?
I think it would be a shame to add a Sub as it wouldn't reach it's full potential in Numbers imo, could always trial it for a few months to see how it goes but it would be a shame to see this not get attention because of the Subscription, i think with just knowledge torchs and crap you'd easily make the Host cost's back per month, i'd honestly just chuck some 10% exp pots in and you'd make a fair bit.

For what hosting externally apparently costs, and given your connection is good enough to host a mir server, would it not be much cheaper to host from home (buying a small server hardware used only for hosting) even if that meant some initial investment?point being i was having to leave my pc online all the time i wanted the server online.

Hosting from PC that you also use in other ways is, as you found, very limiting in many ways.
