You've left out how much does it costs to play Threshold. I remember logging in and playing for awhile, a few months back, but I also remember it being pay to play, which usually turns me off.

I canna remember how much it costs, but if is not much I may recrea and check out your fancy pants new expansion.

It was $50 US when I last played and yah, I had the same problem - I wasn't aware of the cost until I'd been playing a while (and left because of it. I'm in debt, sue me d=.)

I'm sorry you were confused, Geras.

We are listed here (and on any promotional site that allows us to choose what is displayed) as "Pay to Play."

Also, you cannot create a character without being forced to at least open (and hopefully read) the help files that explain our shareware-type cost.

How much does the game cost?

Any why not put a link on your website with the game's prices? Like for example achaea.com has.

Ack Thresh, calm down man. I didn't get a feel of any negative comments there.

I noticed that there is no mention of cost on your website, but as I found your site first on TMS I knew it was pay to play. Before I play any mud I usually glance over their website and ToS there, so that I don't become enthralled with the gaming world or atmosphere and suddenly have to find entertainment elsewhere because $50, #### $10, a month is far out of my range.

Once again, not flaming, or 'trolling', nor do I think anyone else was, just observing and discussing as potential, though slightly impoverished, players.

Like I said, it was a while ago Aristotle d=. I think you should advertise the cost more as an feature if anything. The cost is reasonable and only up front, and the demo time is long enough for anyone to make an informed decision. It's really not that bad.
