Where is this great mass of incredibly moronic players who enter a commercial game and don't discover until they are hooked that some guy in a black trenchcoat is going to show up at their door to break their legs if they don't pay up?  I've never understood why people who make this argument about whether or not a commercial game can be free always seem to assume that they somehow have some insight into the "real" costs of such a game that any other Average Joe will just not be able to work out for himself before deciding to try out a particular game.

Huh?  If paying is an issue, then by definition it would be a strong incentive to leave.  Not that it really matters; you'd have to have the IQ of a cabbage to start playing any of the top listed commercial games here and not acquire some basic understanding of their business model well before deciding whether or not to stick with the game in question.

Oh, wait, I know this one!  They want commercial muds listed with hobbyist muds so that they can force people to smoke crack!
