And on the flip side- People expected this game to fail. SE Knows a lot of other MMOs had poor launches which lost a lot of player interest. Due to reputation alone they could not afford to let that happen. More hardware costs is far better than confirming the many naysayers out there who won't give the game a chance to iron out old bugs.

As stated above computing power is dirt cheap, flexible, easy to reuse and resell these days. Storage costs more than processing, but they don't seem to be having a storage issue.
