Hi everyone,

Just a heads up, I'm experimenting with running some ads in the forums. I know we all hate ads, but if we can increase the revenue from this game just a little, it will really help pay for all the things we need to do to get things revitalized around here.

You won't see any ads in the games, and I have no plans to do that at this time. It's only in the forums.

If you're premium you won't see them at all. And by the way, premium membership is on sale now (https://atwar-game.com/premium/)... It's a really good deal....

/End shameless plug.

Thanks for your understanding,
Dave

Google's targeted advertising at it's best. Lol all I get are insurance ads. I must be getting old.

He said something along the lines that he jusr couldn't figure it out. Amok and Ivan didn't want adds, it's not that he couldn't figure it out Well if I remember correctly, Sun insisted on putting ads on forums for non-prems, but they withdrew them in short amount of time huh. ---- Loading...

Written by Ivan, 08.05.2011 at 10:04 Look, we did our best to balance things. We want the game to remain free and fair for everyone, but we also want to be rewarded for our efforts. And no, we don't want any ads on the site or in-game, and we certainly don't want to initiate an ad-clicking fraud. Written by Ivan, 08.05.2011 at 11:46 Written by KnightTemplar2083, 08.05.2011 at 11:16 And ads-clicking should provide as good income to game creators, as paid Premium membership does, and it would provide equal possibilites for everyone. Ads don't bring a whole lot of revenue, actually - unless the website is localized (ours is not) and has huge traffic (not quite there yet). And urging people to click on ads is considered fraud and is strictly forbidden by all advertising companies. ---- Helpful Guides Loading... Loading...
