I am new to the list, and only found out about it, because of people posting on the boards in DragonRealms. Back when DragonRealms was on AOL, I played multiple muds through the AOL links, because they were all located in 1 place so it didn't cost me 1000s of hours trying to find a new one to try.
So what if 1 mud is p2p and 1 is free, why should it matter, I don't see how it would detract from this community, (granted I haven't been here but 8 hours or so) but, I feel that everyone who plays a mud are part of the mudding community, having input from people who play all kinds of muds, can only help the community in general. To shutout a whole section of the community simply because thier community is willing to pay in order to play a game they enjoy playing, would IMHO damage this list more than having them on here. Certainly the integrity of the list would need to be questioned if it claims to be the topmudsite listing(as url states), but has a condition on what muds can actually be in that list.
While it could be true that none of the p2p developers care about the mudding community,(which I don't believe) and only want to make large sums of money, that doesn't mean that those people playing those games don't care about the community. All shutting people out does, is deny them of the chance of experience other muds with relative ease. I have visited a few different muds since I got linked to this page, and if anyone else who came from DR is like me, it can only benefit the rest of the muds on here, to have another mud linking to this list, to bring their players in here and allow them the chance to try something new.
