The world is not pay to play. One can go far without ever spending a dime. One can actually make items and sell them in transactions. Any sell, the Axis Mundi corporation gets a percentage. One can also do pretty well if they spend.
Obviously one gets far more if they actually pay but the VR world has to be worth paying for.

Your Base Life of 100
