In short, the disadvantage would be categorizing what Free means with this 5 box system. Forcing certain games not to appear on a search engine, because of a category that is a misnomer. I think it is important to know that this 5 box system is set up to hurt Commercial MUDs by lowering searches that point to their games. While that in and of itself shouldn't stop a change in searches, I wonder what is next after this gets put into place. I wonder why so many didn't like my option of 2 boxes with multiple sub boxes if you checked box 1, basically defining out how the game utilizes payment MUCH more robustly than a simple 5 box check? I can answer this for you. It would be a greater disadvantage to non-commercial muds.

Its boiled down to who gets the advantage, not what players want. I saw this when the 2 box system with multiple options wasn't even listed on the poll or even mentioned.
