I think that was the point; if you're pushed back a page or two, few people will see it. There are some people who come only to promote their own MU*, but many do come looking for one to play. The p2p games may bring a lot of people, but how many are going to be willing to leave their old game to go to a free one? My guess is that there will be many more who haven't played p2p before but will decide to try.

I know it's been that way with the game I play; we've gained several new players since coming here, and I haven't heard of one person who quit to play a free MU*. Whether it's right or wrong for p2p games to be here, I think the people who were here first do have a right to complain. The 5 new players that a big game gets may seem like nothing to them, but it could be the death of the one they might have chosen if it could have been seen as easily.
