Business Model
Since 1996, Threshold has always used some version of what is now known as the "free to play" business model. It started out with a donation system where players donated towards server upgrades and hosting costs. Then Threshold evolved to a registration system which encouraged players to spend at least $50 per year. In 2007, Threshold transitioned to a pay for perks system where players can purchase virtual items.

—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“For an artist to marry his model is as fatal as for a gourmet to marry his cook: the one gets no sittings, and the other gets no dinners.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
