That's completely untrue. Habbo Hotel is the most successful pay-for-perks game in the West and is basically the least gamey MUD/MMO possible.
Edit: It may be the most successful pay for perks game in the world, but I don't know enough about the Asian market, where pay for perks is way ahead of the West in terms of popularity. If WoW goes ahead with its plan to sell trading cards that give benefits in-game, they will be the most successful game using pay for perks, though they won't be getting anything close to even half their revenue from that. (Habbo is pure pay-for-perks.)
