Re: The Cold Hard Facts
If any of this were true, Runescape (who has free servers and member servers, with the former having severely restricted content) wouldn't have 7 million players and a million customers. There are a number of other MUDs with million+ users that use the same terminology.
Fact is, using free like this is absolutely standard in the online games world. Consumers at large pretty clearly have no problem with it judging by the overwhelming success of the model. It seems to only be confusing to a few people here, and I'm quite sure it's not actually confusing to them.
