Re: Nodeka
That's the fallacy though. There's no such thing as a MUD in which you can't gain an advantage by paying someone, whether it's the developer or not, unless that MUD has no advantages that can be gained.
You might opine that, "Sure, but that's just in those really big MUDs, like World of Warcraft" where one can simply go to all sorts of websites to purchase gold, power-leveling, characters, items, etc. But of course, the first third-party exchange for in-game stuff for real money ever run was for one of Simutronic's text MUDs.
Admin policy and action does not determine the reality of whether you're able to buy things with real money or not. It only influences it.
