the_logos will become famous soon enough
I agree that information about potential MUDs to play is a good thing, but there's no reason to prefer listing pay-to-play vs. free than there is to prefer PK vs. non-PK. You can classify a MUD by an almost infinite number of categories, and I just don't see a reason to place more importance on whether you pay or not than whether or not it's a stock code-base. Personally, as I'm willing to pay for MUDs, I'd much rather see a sign for stock vs. custom. Whether it's free or costs money is irrelevant to me. I just want to play MUDs with original systems and content. To other people, paying vs. free is important. To still others, Pk vs. no-PK is important.

My point is just that you can draw a line between MUDs wherever you want, and any of them are just as valid as free vs. pay, so why treat that distinction as something special?
