Speaking of which, I assume everyone's heard about the AOL lawsuit...
Are you worried about being sued (assuming the credits aren't worth
minimum wage, I'd have to worry about the fallout, at least for those of
us accepting money and operating inside the US)?

Indeed, I've noticed a lot of the latter on the PK muds I play
off-and-on... Players demand a far greater level of intelligence than
people in general tend to have, and verbally abuse them when they show
they don't have it, or ask for help.

Another approach I've seen and liked was the "Commodities Exchange" on
Ancient Anguish (ancient.anguish.org 2222), where newbies can buy a map
and earn money and XP by delivering packages to many of the important
places on the mud.
