Funny you mention redeemer arena. I just got done playing a new deemer arena 
mod I coded:
http://gopostals.com/Extra/PirateDeemer1.zip
It's fully functional but I will be releasing a complete redeemer server 
package soon with many more options.

I rented a quad core server a bit back and ran 4 full-on 16 slot monsterhunt 
servers, one to each core. I never even noticed it tick once on system 
resource usage.
