There are any number of MUDs that present a quality product, yet will not take you to the cleaners for $500/year. If having game balance (or quality of service... read up on what a lot of "premium-style" membership mean in terms of customer service) hinge on how much money you've spent bothers you, taking it here really doesn't help the problem- the MUDs in question are up front about the system's existence. Rather, either:
1) Play a PtP MUD with a flat pricing structure, so your skill matters more than your wallet.
or,
2) Play a free MUD.
