Being #1 on TMS is like China saying, "We're the greatest nation that existed! Just look at how many people we have!"
If you believe that statement, you'll believe the first post in this string.
Personally, I too agree that free means that something is absolutely free of any commercial options. I tried Achaea last year. I wasn't as impressed as a #1 standing would seem to suggest. I've seen better on 100% free MUDs (and for that matter, I've seen better on commercial MUDs too).
That's not to say Achaea's total crap or anything. Of the 800+ MUDs I've tried over the last six years, it's easily in the Top 100. But let's be honest. TMS rankings don't necessarily indicate quality. I've seen some awesome MUDs that I've never seen make the list but were great nonetheless. Does a #1 ranking (or for that matter, any ranking) indicate quality? Not really. Popularity, perhaps, but not really quality. Just something to keep in mind.
Take care,
Jason
