Re: What does "Free" Mean?

Are these so accurate?

Lets look at it...

What if i have a mud that accept donations that are NOT money. And we reward this with perks in-game.

Or we reward players in-game from clicking on advertisement links on our website (possibly buying things from other sites to get rewarded). That it is a payforperks thing that people may dislike and may want to filter away.

To me, it just smells that people want to "hide" information. I can understand why some commercial games really argue this to "hide" their payment model in the search engines. They would loose some traffic UNDOUBTLY from having to list their game as a particular type of payment model and not just as a "bunched together" money involved listing. (Doesn't matter if they show their model in their game on the very first page... they still would loose that first impression from a possible customer).

The more options to search for, the better it is and the bigger chance a mud has to configure its listing to suit it the best. And a possible player have a much greater chance to find a mud that suits his/her preferences, which is what this site is all about i hope.
