Hi all,

We understand that you don't like the idea of in-game advertising (who does!). However we felt it was a good way for players who don't support the game to contribute to the future development of it.

However, as you know, we always listen to our community and do what we feel is in the best interest of the game.

From that - how would you feel about the removal of ads from the game, and instead, a banner to the right-hand side of the guide website?

PS. We'll be posting another thread shortly regarding hot-topics in the game right now for feedback!

Ads on the UFSG? Well, if there -has- to be ads I'd rather they be limited to the guide. :)

By forcing them to get ad spammed until they cough up the $$$?

To be honest Hoof, I'm rather surprised you haven't had advertising on the game before now. Count me among the "If it helps pay to improve the game and doesn't impact my playing experience, then I really don't see it as an issue" crowd.

I would much rather they be on the guide than the actual website.

Why not advertise it only on the home page....Or at the bottom of the page. Why does it have to be in your face advertisement. Why on the world screen or the guild chat or Personal log. I honestly would not have a problem if it was kept off those.

Honestly I've donated to HCS and don't really care one way or the other. Though I believe it would be hilarious to see the complaints of people who haven't yet XD

Can you make them at the bottom of the page? i don't care if they are their or not, but if i have to stare at one with flashing lights all the time, it gets bothersome.

No ads is better still, but i understand where you're coming from, and want to (obviously) increase your revenue stream - so yeah, slap the ads on the UFSG. Seems to be the best compromise.

Will prolly result in less exposure, but will also keep more gamers "happy" ...

There are ads :?: :? I never noticed. Seriously, i like the option to be able to hide what you dont want to see.

I guess I don't mind the ads for people who have never donated because I think it's a great game and everyone should donate even $5.

But... having spent more than I care to comment on (i.e. as much as a car) if I EVER see an ad displayed in my game EVER. I will have a cow for supper.

So the 6 month thing has GOT to go. I'll be darned if I wanna see an ad making me donate every 6 months when I have donated more than most people in the game make in a year.
Other than that, no noone likes ads, but I realize you guys have to fund your shiny new office.

I guess it could work
But on the topic, how would it work, is it just a single banner, or a pop up?

They done it before, There was a 15 hour period where you could activate ads on your account in order to get some Free FSP. There were alot of backlash with this idea and it was removed...why forced the ads on people now..?
