I seriously think part of the problem here is the vaguaries of these terms.
To me, pay-to-play are represented by games where if you stop paying, you stop getting to play. For example, tons of games out there have monthly fees. You pay anywhere between $9.99 a month to $30+ a month to play some of these games. If you stop paying your monthly fee, you can't log on with your characters/account anymore until you've gone and paid the gaming company. That's definitely not how Threshold operates.
What do you call a mud that has a 1 time fee (that also gets you perks) and then it's pay for perks from then on? Basically, think of going out and buying The Sims 2 and then paying for a bunch of different outfits or an uber house or something. That doesn't seem to be the same as pay-to-play to me.
