Fair enough. However, your interpretation of it is a lot more specific than the term implies. Free to play is not limited to just playing on an equal footing with everyone else. It is a very general term, which can also include being able to play without paying a fee but having the option to upgrade yourself by paying real-life money.
That again depends on your definition of free to play. If you are going to include Threshold and Gemstone as examples of MUDs that are free to play then I would not be in agreement with you.
No I would not find it objectionable because they are telling you upfront about any fees you have to incur. But you are getting off topic, the argument has been about the term free to play, not pay X now then play for free as much as you like. If they are advertising themselves as free to play without requiring you to pay how could you find that objectionable? Even if they do have an optional system of purchasing credits.
