So - just to clarify - you're saying that everything a player can achieve in your mud with credits can also be achieved without? Every single item, skill, class, artifact, pet, etc, can also be gained without requiring any credits?

For example, supposing I wanted to get a tailoring permit - what would I have to do in order to get one without spending any credits? Or what if I wanted a house, but didn't have any credits - how would I go about getting one? Or lets say I wanted Bracers of Frost, or a Stygian pendant - how could I get one of those without credits?

Note that I'm specifically interested in how these things could be achieved without credits - or if that's not possible, I'd like you to explain what systematic way can be used to earn credits without paying for them. "Buying them from other people" doesn't count - that would be like claiming WoW is free on the basis that you can wash your parents car in return for them paying for it, thus costing you nothing.
