This is accurate. You can buy all the T-shirts you like, but it doesn't do your character a bit of good. The only thing that has to do with the MUD is it uses the same logo.
It doesn't impact gameplay in the slightest. We're a roleplay-required game, and part of that is is avoiding situations like:
Frick: Where did you get that amazing sword? It's better than anything I've ever seen in this world?
Frack: I... uh... it... uh ... floated down from the heavens above? Did I mention no one can steal it from me?
Frick: You look beefier too. I've been working out all day, and yet you have somehow put on 40 pounds of muscle sitting on the guild couch.
Frack: I .... uh... divine favor? Yeah, divine favor. If you'll excuse me, I just ...uhh... inherited 100,000 gold coins. Yeah, inherited. That's the ticket.
We also pride ourselves on delivering interesting PvP action, and our players like the fact that when they log into Carrion Fields, they play the same game their opponent does. 100% of what your character has, your character earned through skill. Not 5%.
This is a fundamentally different approach to game design. It changes every aspect of competition with other players, as well as the challenge of competition against the game itself. We resent other games stealing the word "free" from it.
And, we advertise it accurately. No perks. Just free. Lots of games are like that. Others aren't. All we're asking is that TMS label everyone accordingly.
