The oldest commercial MUD on the internet, still limping along, but turning toward F2P-style monetization.

I feel that gamers are unable to fairly assess publishers without the fog of Brand Loyalty.
Many believe that they are (unbiased, that is). Until you can point out their consistent posting history as a fanboy or hater.
It actually is difficult to dispel the minmaxer charm. Once you're exposed, it may be as persistent as herpes.
How do I get back to a much simpler view of the game when I knew less about it (mechanically)?
(Or how do I remove 30 years of combined …
