Gauging interest in longer MP scenarios

I like the idea, and I pretty much know that it's *possible* to pull off something of such a big scale. Especially if you can also keep each little thing as simple as possible.

But my concerns are these:

Do you have the endurance to actually pull this off? Of course, at this point in time this question isn't all that relevant.
Will there really be 6 to 10 or more people who have that much time? Essentially option 2 above.
Can 6-10 players actually play for that long without anyones game crashing?
How much bandwidth will this mission require, for each client? Do we have (stable) hosts with that much bandwidth, for that sort of duration?
