    Aaaand just another E-Mail arrived...

    So basically this means that we will only receive about 60% of the current traffic, as many people are joining from Scandinavian countries...

    I'll see how many impressions/completion rate we get, if it's too low to pay or non-acceptable for the playerbase, I am going to remove the adverts completly.

    what i noticed lately after the pinion plugin update the ad played on the background while i was playing,
    I don't know if this is a bug or not but can't you trow in an ad every hour or so in the background so that it is played, if this is possible we will be able to boost the completion rate a lot, i have seen this kind of system on a server once and players didn't really minded that

    And it's just 1/2 minutes per ad. If possible, let the idlers watch a great deal (based on inactivity time-playtime) :)

    Whoops, Pinion just sent an updated E-Mail, the way how we will get paid will change in March, not February, my statement above is still intact, just one month later.

    I've decided to remove the adverts for now, as with their latest changes, we wouldn't earn more than $40 monthly at 30 seconds force time..

    Mega bump right here, but updating the status of adverts.
    I've found a new (means just founded in June) ad provider, who doesn't force any times (it's optional), and pays about the same Pinion did before they changed their policy.

    The adverts will only be shown upon connection/map change (which is technically a re-connect) and will continue playing the background for about 15 to maximum 20 seconds.
    They are now installed on all aervers, except DeathRun.

    This wouldn't count the Impression at all, so you would completly bypass the ads (which is asocial)

    We need those views people.
    I'm sure you'll survive hearing an ad for 15 seconds.

    With the volume of the previous ads, I nearly fucking died.

    Are we talking about the ads that appears when you enter the server? Cuz I kinda hate them >:| But whatever, I can always ignore them and do something else in the meanwhile, lal.
