Being commercial is not a negative thing to me, especially since being commercial can serve many different ends and is not always based around sacrificing standards just to maximize profit.
Being self-serving, not caring about the community as a whole, and being so commercial that you use your popularity gained from lack-of-ethics as an excuse to put your MUD on a pedestal above other MUDs is a negative thing to me.
I also don't agree, or like, the concept of in-game credits that unevens the field for players depending howmuch money they are willing to spend.
But that's for another time. These are all, again, my opinions only.
