I would rather have a pay-to-play system because I really hate pay-to-advance. I feel like in pay-to-advance systems, someone like me will play for free without using the optional investment in my character. However, I notice that I often have a severe disadvantage and all the work I do isn't really getting me anywhere. I don't pay for MUDs in real life, but in this scenario I would pick a pay-to-play MUD because I would be on equal footing as everyone else. Plus, with pay-to-play MUDs, I don't feel like I they are having the illusion of being free like pay-to-advance MUDs have. You know what you are getting into and you're not wasting your time on the free part of it because there is no free part.
