Hi Freela! I remember you. I think the problem with the pay-to-play was that it cut the player pop by like 2/3rds. And then not long after, it became pay-to-win - you could by discipline points that made it possible to train to the top of the skill pyramid, instead of the long and slow grinding process many of us had gone through. That caused another drop in the playerbase and also elevated some people in the game who did nothing more than charge up a credit card.

But the worst part was definitely the first absentee and then sadistic and twisted corps of administrators, as well as the equally twisted senior hangers-on for whom the game was more about social machinations than anything else.
