-A powerful computer: an X quantity of TB (depending on the amount of users) from hard drive(s), to store all the files and information (accounts, game files, server files, etc.); a HUGE internet connection to provide a fast service (online autopatcher and in-game) and avoid lag and instability; lots of GB from RAM to be able to edit files, apply new updates, make maintenances, etc.; a multicore motherboard with fast processors (and maybe multi/hyper threaded), compatible with all the other devices; the needed power supply for all that; finally, external hard drive(s) with enough TBs to make backups of all the files.
-A host server (wich would be the computer with all the specs listed above).
-Sub servers to be shown in-game, wich would be located in different places (like northern Australia, southern, and/or maybe middle New Zeland), on different computers, connected through the host.
-A forum, to let people meet, watch your news and manage their accounts.
-A team of coders and editors(HTML for the forum, for example).
