Vedic: Yes, I missed the donation dollars thing the first time, but went back and read it; I applaud its inclusion. I understand that running a mud is not easy, nor is it inexpensive when you need to add servers, pay for increased bandwidth, and so on.
I was merely shocked at the amount of money requested as donations worthy of special equipment. The items I noticed *did* seem like they would affect gameplay, and one of the reviews I read seemed to agree with that perception. Since I have not played, I will accept your perspective.
I am not averse to P2P games. I have spent significant (over a year) time on four of them. All of them were worth the monthly fees I paid. Not equally so... one had MUCH better customer service and another had what I found to be a more interesting world with a wider range of choices.
With 250+ players online, MM must be doing SOMETHING right. Kudos to them.
