Serious poll: How would you feel about FFR using ads?

Arch0wl · 07-28-2004, 03:08 PM

This is purely hypothetical. Do not start any rumors or anything, this is just an idea.

With the development of FFR, as the game improves it gets harder and harder for Synth to work on it and keep it free. To improve FFR from a state of great to amazing, or good to great or crappy to great or however you see the game currently, takes either lots of time, lots of money to blow, requiring the users to pay for something OR putting up ads.

Now, with some of the ideas that have been pitched out, like customizable game avatars like O2Jam/gunbound where you can buy tons of items to customize your character, or music towns or whatnot, this would take a lot of work and probably cost money to develop. Coding something as revolutionary as this game in flash as you can guess is not an easy task.

In any case, if FFR were to remove some of the taskbar stuff on the left that overcrowds it, and put up little small banner ads for things (small - like 128x40 or something) what would be your views on this? I'm not talking about popups - no, nothing like that.
