I too came to TMS from a Simutronics p2p. Here are some reasons why I pay to play:
Mostly reliable connection.
Very little server lag.
Constant large-scale development of the game world.
Easy access to customer service.
Now, like someone else mentioned, since I pay, I -expect- certain things from that game. There are some things that leave a sour taste in my mouth when I get billed. For example, half of the reasons I am paying are manpower-related (Dev and CS) yet most of the people who perform those functions for Simutronics are volunteers who receive no (or in some cases very little) reinbursement.
Now, that being said...shortly after I first came to TMS I tried out a couple of games, and eventually ran across Armageddon. I haven't logged into my p2p once since I started playing Armageddon.
