I'm not against being labeled commercial. We're commercial, and we make no bones about it. But, if there's to be a commercial label, then I want distinctions made. Not just "commercial" but, for instance, "commercial and free-to-play". I'd imagine that's no different than someone wanting his/her MUD to be listed as "Bashing with PK" rather than just "Bashing", for instance.

I'm against being forced to put a feature of our MUD in our marketing blurb on the front page, as I view it as no more relevant than a host of other factors. Other people may view it as irrelevant or highly relevant. If players are so interested in specific features, they can search for them.

I tend to agree with Kavir in any case and say just get rid of any labels regarding business model though to just avoid the problem altogether. As many posters have pointed out, players are not dumb sheep that need coddling.
