I had the chance of trying a pay for play game for free *no names mentioned* and I wasn't that impressed.

Oh definitly, the service and presence of staff was better. And really, if one pays for it - it should. Now perhaps if you spend a lot of time on it one would notice the difference, but with 10 hours invested I was not that impressed by the gameworld, the code or the RP I encountered.

Sure, it was all high-quality, but then again it should be since people pay for it - but not that extra dimension that would make it worth pulling up my visa.

So I would definitly vote for a system that generally only made you pay to advance into certain positions or roles that require lots of work for admins, getting your own buildings etc.

Still, it feels ugly to my socialist soul that someone that can dish out 100$ for his castle and guards can be nobleman and someone else can't - but hey it is those people that pay for that the game keeps running and keeps the admins paid (hopefully).
