Re: Taking another look at some MUDs
The problem with giving money to a MUD is that there's so many moving parts in MUD gaming compared to going out to see a movie. At least with a movie, if it's a bad movie it's all over in 90 minutes or so; you only lost that amount of time and $5-8 dollars (no one buys movie theater food, it's way too ridiculous). You don't know how stuck up the MUD admins are, or how entrenched the cliques are, or how long you're going to stay with the game after you realize that it has no clothes. Offering optional premium features is one thing, but demanding up front fifty dollars to have full access to the game is outrageous.
