my idea, if there have to be ads, make it on the ufsg, and make it voluntary for fs - put it as a changeable preference, so if you ahve it on you get a certain number of fsp each week. if it is on, it will replace the bottom banner?


If there is FSP offered for it then it should be something along the lines of every 30 days they log in and witness the ads they receive 5 fsp or something like that or some kind of tally system that has a bulk pay out instead weekly other wise it will change the fsp market too much.

Maybe make the 6 month deal for people doing free offers but anyone donating their own money should have at least a year

I haven't been here long. I don't like it though. I understand that there are costs incurred in the operation of a system such as this game but from what I understand there are lots of players that have invested thousands of dollars, euros and other forms of currency to improve their characters and that was their choice. doesn't hcs make a lot of money from the advertisers in the rewards system already? I've got a ton of spam from just a couple of rewards that I did and that alone has stopped me from doing more. I think if the rewards system were better regulated that fewer 'donations' would be needed.

I don't know how the adds are currently placed, but... someone commented that if you don't donate they come back in 6 months? I think that is stupid personally.

other than that, i'm fine except for:
-ass some have said, keep off world map and private log.
-and I HATE those EVONY adds I see on some sites... If i wanted to see pictures of naked chicks that have NOTHING to do with a game, I'd go to a certain type of site. :x

Give us ad's, and for one, I don't really care, as long as they are not Pop-ups or log spam.

you just finally gave me the option to get rid of half the junk I didn't want to see in the game, now you want to put in adds? I donated once, and did rewards which bring in revenue for you also. I don't want to have to put up with adds on any screen I frequent. Home page sure, but not on screens ppl use often.

On the plus side of the adverts is the fact that I have never seen so many people active in the forum before!

put the ads on the bottom of your page in the ufsg, that way we are not forced to look at it and we can if we wish

also make it not lag the game :D

Hoof, just giving my opinion, the idea of this in-game advertising for people who are not donating is stupid.
You are actually forcing people to donate, that's alright I guess, but what about those people who CAN'T donate? They would have to stick with ads their whole game-time?

Lemme give you an example..
I of course go to school, but I still have to pay over 15.000 Euros for school and it's crap.. It's already a year over-date.. But I can't, I'm 19 with no one helping me. Yet I still am allowed to go to school. Want to know why? Because me going to school, is for them, more important than me paying while I CAN'T pay them right now.. Would that mean they have to think of things, to make my school years worse because I can't pay? Absolutely not.

As should the same be for this game, people are playing, but some can't donate.. You shouldn't make it worse for them by adding in-game advertisment. Most of them would only distant theirselfs from the game. Who knows, they might donate later on when they actually CAN.

I am pretty sure that a lot of the people that aren't donating are people who CAN'T.. Not because they don't want to.

Meh.. just my opinion on this matter.

Dont you guys make enough money on all those point rewards that dont even pay out FSP? Why cover the page in annoying pointless ads?

Alarm Bells are starting to ring!!! It's hit n miss these days if you can lvl/titan hunt or even chat with friends/guildies with out some kind of lagg kicking in, although not as bad lately as it has been. It's still there! But introducing advertising on any of the time critical pages of the game will completely ruin it for a lot of players

I have been gaming since the days of DOS and I bet I have spent as much money on this game as in the previous 20 years combined. My position is simple. I don't want to see any kind of ad anywhere at any time. I have paid my way and I am entitled to that.

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


I haven't spend a single $ on that game from the start... and yeah I'll complain in I want to!

I say that putting the ads in-game kills it... It would be better on the front page or in the guide.

If I can ignore the ads then I wouldn't mind (though I guess the advertisers would!). If I can't ignore them then I would object strongly.

So much of it depends on the nature of the ads you are talking about, but ANY ads would have to add to the amount of material that gets downloaded with each page, and so would have to remove useful bandwidth and so add to lag problems.

I guess you could include ads as part of the existing graphics - get the monsters wearing "windows was my idea" t-shirts perhaps?

Because first of all, it a FREE MMORPG... FREE!

I don't see the point on anyone that complain because they have spend some money on that game and then there's ad.

You wanted to pay for extra max stam? extra exp gain per hour? buy some gear? Don't wine please...

The game is and I think that will always be FREE to PLAY... You can buy FSP's to upgrade your character in a way to try to be better than the other. Nobody's asking you to spend money for that game so don't think you have privilege because you did.

Sure thing is that you help the game by donating/buying FSP. But no more than that.

That's all...

Hello:

1 - The game have enough lags to add other stuffs like ads!
2 - If you put (on the top, on the bottom, on the left or on the right) ads the game will slow down like we saw before... (during GvG or hunting it's a pain)
3 - A player will pay if he/she can and/or if he/she like the game. If she/he don't pay that mean he or she don't like the game or can't pay at the moment. -----> If you put ads do you think a new player will have more money to pay?
4 - The good side of this game is the non-advertising it's important to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one to hink like this.
5 - Today a simple ads banner and tomorrow what are you adding? Redirection on ebay when you click on AH? Or we could think to pay directly at the end of each week why not?
6- Are we talking about donations or paying to play? (Free MMO? O.o)
7 - In all ways I don't want to see any advertsing for all players on any pages of the site!

That's my opinions.

i dont want to see them, and yes i've donated a fair bit of real world money.

those that dont donate, then yeah sure, they have to pay their way somehow.

nothing is free

on the UFSG is a good idea, or even only on the home page (there is a big gap next to the shout box) but if banner adds or flashing "you're the 1,000,000th..." comes up during hunting then i'll lose interest

I think there needs to be a way for people to contribute and be rewarded for that effort. Keep the ads for rewards. It really doesn't matter where they are UFSG or the FS site proper. I haven't done any of those in a while, but I remember that the "easy" "cheap" points where a big hook that got me into wanting more of those little pink dots. :P

You don't want to give up your hook Hoof when you are fishing for donations. ;)

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.



Well Kinda but I don't have the Computer that can handle the extra load. I guess I was waiting for it to happen to I am shocked at how long it took! :shock:

but I am also wonder why the game never became a P2P (Pay to Play) ads dont always help but sometimes they do. in this case I believe it failed like a emergency Life raft : with a Hole in its side Massively leaking its air with you and 20 tons of rocks in it.

:lol:

KERRRRRRR PLUNK ~~~~ SPLASH.....~~~~~~ :lol:
