you say Unless "having a cost" also has a new definition in TMS, when a handful of people give away money for the game the keep running they incurr in expenses and therefore it has a cost for them.

also, you mention something similar disgised in your usual sarcasm
So, if a game requires and is forced to solicit their players to donate money from time to time to cover game expenses, and none of the players spent money on the game. the game would be forced to cut down costs or shut down, therefore these type of games are not completely free either. The first few years MudHobbiX was free and no donations were required, after eyar 3 the owned decided to add a lot of cool stuff and remove the limit of players connected at a time, so he bought space in a server, soon the MUD grew too much for him to cover all the costs by himself and was "forced" to ask the players for help. If they want to keep playing the game they like they have to spend money, else, the MUD goes back to a severely handicaped game (again, using words you like to use).

Now, as an example of you making up definitions to fit your purpose, you have
which is of course totally arbitrary, and allowed you, in that thread, to bash the MUD(s) you wanted to bash at that point. Surpricingly so, in this new thread now you claim your intention is not to single out IRE.

, we see a deeper explanation of your point of it being free for the players for as long as they do not have pay (or see themselves in the situation that they have to contribute or see the game go for that mater)
, is an example of you being told what I am telling you right now by a different person
Here you seem to miss the fact that "pay-for-nothing" would actually be "pay-or-you-nor-anybody-will-be-able-to-play".

Anyway, I could keep going back in that discussion, or look for the other one on which you used the same "logic" and "arguments" to keep quoting you, as you like it.

Do not be childish yourself and pretend to make others believe whomever is pointing out a flaw on your line of thought is lying.
