No, the problem is that certain people are claiming IRE muds are "free to play" based on the literal meaning of the phrase, while at the same time arguing that other muds are not "free to play" based on their own additions to the definition.
So do most commercial muds. If I wanted to I could sign up for Gemstone IV right now, and play it for a month, completely free. I could create an account on Threshold and play it tonight if I wished, all without spending a cent.
I could even buy a copy of Guild Wars tomorrow, phone in to work sick, then play it for free as much as I liked - .
Nor does it say that you'll be able to keep your character for more than a month, or that there won't be any registration or purchase fee.
Yes, it does - all you have to do is connect and you can start playing. Remember, "free to play means free to play. The term doesn't imply anything else besides simply telling you that you can play something for free."
