I think most posters on the list would agree that this is a good definition of *FREE*. Pesonally I would also have added 'spells, weapons and equipment' to it. Or just used this simpler definition:
***
A mud is FREE if you cannot buy - ANY - in-game benefits for real money.
***
I also think that certain muds putting a *FREE* next to their name in the voting list, when they obviously are NOT free according to this definition, irritates a lot of people on the list. In fact I think I can safely say that it irritates everybody on the list, except of course the ones that misuse the word in that way, and their followers.
Consequently I'd like to make a formal request to Synozeer to install a new rule, that no mud is allowed to use the world *FREE* in their advertising, unless it actually IS free according to the above definition.
Hopefully this would get rid of some of the flame threads that spam the boards now, which would be a good thing for everyone.
