Orion, imagine a custom-written mud which was not "pay to play", but not "free" either - instead it was listed as "advert sponsored". Players did not have to pay anything to play, but money for hosting and the like came from banner clicks. In order to play the mud each day, you first had to click on the current advert banner. In this way the mud owners could gain a small income from the mud from the players, but the players wouldn't have to pay anything - just give up a few seconds of their time. Would you have a problem with such a mud?
