Re: Pay to play, donations.
Your mud isn't even up yet and sounds like it's in the very initial stages, right? First, make sure your mud is worth money before you ask anybody to donate anything to it. Heck, worry about attracting a sizeable and dedicated playerbase before you worry about whehter to hit them up for cash. You're well within your rights to ask anybody for money for any reason, but if you don't have a donation-worthy mud or a playerbase yet, you really don't need to worry about whether asking for donations is going to alienate anybody.
Very few muds manage to even cover their server costs via player contributions. If you need encouragement to work on this mud of yours and aren't loving the hobby, it's doubtful you'll ever be up and running.
