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.
This.
Of course, I don't have to deal with the ads, but a minor inconvenience shouldn't be a big deal, IMO. Heck, if it makes everyone feel better, give me the ads, too.
Although, I do agree with everyone else about the porn ads. If those show up, then no ads at all. Find another way to bring in revenue.

There are so many sites that have banner ads to keep the sites up. Most sites don't even offer the option to have them removed.
Having a banner ad doesn't make the game 'not free' anymore. It allows you to ensure revenue to endure that you can advance the game, and to make improvements on the game that people want.
Every 'free' game out there has some type of advertising, or a more demanding donation system. If they don't, they fail. It has been proven time and time again.
So, I say do what you need to with the ads, whatever is going to provide you with the best returns so you can focus on improving the game, and working on other games.

don't bombard new players with any ads for 30-60 days
request whoever is feeding the ads to you to keep them PG
i recruited an old friend earlier today, which i am now embarrassed about because he got to register and see all the ads. i NEVER would have asked a friend to register had the ads been up. I wont be bugging anymore people that i know to register, because i would be embarrassed to have them come here and see ads when they log in.
However it will only affect players who don't want to support the game by donating or completing any of the offers on the Point Reward page.
again, i'm not sharing my recruitment link with anyone i know until i can rest assured that they will see no ads when they come here. you do what you need to do, and i will do what i need to do. i'd rather recommend a subscription based game than one with annoying advertising.

A simple fix I think, have somethin in our preferences that asks us what we want to recieve info on.
Such as:
Receive log messages for Ads [tickbox]
Recieve log message for home page news concerning 'Titans' [tickbox]
Receive log messages for home page news concerning 'Temple Wins' [tickbox]
Recieve log message for home page news concerning 'Daily Recruiting' [tickbox]
Recieve log message for home page news concerning 'New Content' [ticbox]
And any others I 've forgotten
Also this:
Hi EJames2100! Not tried Sigmastorm 2 yet? Signup now for free via this special link and get an extra 2,000 reserve energy for free for your new character!

Isn't something I want to get sent to me or pushed on me.
During downtime yeah go for it but to bug us in our own inboxes, no.

We have asked the advertisers to ensure all the ads are clean

Man what a bunch of crybabies holy hell!!! Do you guys complain about the advertising on your vehicles? Possibly the advertising on billboards lessens your driving experience too right? And i imagine you have all given up TV because of those damn commercials...not to mention your email addys you all used to sign up here. All you people have to do is play this game. Let the people that make it possible deal with advertising as 95% of you (myself included) have recruited ZERO people to this game...
Exactly!
