I will admit, I initially supported what was my favorite mud when they started down the road of pay to win. I regret doing that. It changed the mud entirely. What was once an extremely social, gratifying experience, slowly declined after they implemented donation rewards. So my opinion does have a degree of bias.

However, if DR was really so good, the player base would support it strictly upon that. But the whole point here is money. You can't get around this point. You are here because you want or need to generate more revenue. No one says "well my product is good, but I don't really want more money for it". Admit that you are here because of the $$$. After all these years if the mud really wanted to go free to play, it would've.

I am curious, why not get a few of your players in here to state exactly why it is they pay? It would probably be more convincing.
