The truth is, that everyone who pays money for credits does it intentionally, and they -want- to spend their money. Anyone who doesn't want to spend money on the IRE muds don't have to.
It is in that sense, that IRE is a free to play mud.
Think about it - if you can only play a game AFTER spending money on the game, that'll mean that the game is most definitely NOT a free to play game. (eg, WoW, Eve online, etc)
As we have said, many, many times, you don't have to pay to play Aetolia, and even so, you can still get as much out of aetolia as those who put lots of money in their character.
