Viagra MUDs (ie, pay-for-perks) are specifically competitive. That's the whole premise behind buying the so-called perks. They're advantages that allow one to get a leg-up on the competition, whether it be in PKing or in just keeping-up-with-the-Joneses.
That's why games that concentrate on RP aren't usually (if ever) pay-for-perks. OOC influence, as determined by one's purchasing power IRL, ruins the RP atmosphere.
Take care,
