Re: What does "Free" Mean?

It's not a bad tactic if the goal is to distract people from the real discussion, but much like the story of "the boy who cried wolf", it loses its impact when used repeatedly on the same people.

So to get back to the matter at hand...I guess the main question at this point is whether to go for the basic four choices:

[ ] Payment and/or donations required to play.
[ ] Payment and/or donations accepted, has results in-game.
[ ] Payment and/or donations accepted, no results in-game.
[ ] Neither payment nor donations accepted.

TEXT BOX:


Or to include Lasher's distinction of "whether or not all content can be experienced without payment":

[ ] Payment and/or donations required to play.
[ ] Payment and/or donations required to access some content.
[ ] Payment and/or donations accepted, has results in-game.
[ ] Payment and/or donations accepted, no results in-game.
[ ] Neither payment nor donations accepted.

TEXT BOX:


I still have some reservations about the fifth choice, as unlike the other four it could be "gamed". However I think it would still be an improvement overall. I'd be happy to see either the four or the five choice option.

EDIT: I'm not entirely happy with the wording of the new option, but I'm sure someone else can come up with something a bit clearer.
