As far as profit goes, couldn't you beef up the forums and put adds on there? It wouldn't detract from the game because they would only be in the forums. I mentioned it there, but I am a admin on a site that is %100 paid for with google ads. They just put one at the bottom and that is it. We could all click them once a day easily.

the point 3 is a bit ridiculous, if the sdite goes away for some reason it will probably be for lack of funfs.... and after therer are no funds to run the site u want him to refund u? nice!

anyway, im in favor of soem kind of advertisement (perhaps only for non-members?)

I completly agree with changed names about the ads for only non-members. It may sound mean but I dont want Warlight to cease to exist due to a lack of funds.

Agree with the above 2 posts, the apps on smart phones do it- a minor inconvenience for playing for free.

I agree with the adverts for non members if i could buy a membership i would.Especially if i could in cash just get a po box and send their.Anyways i don't think it will be mean if adverts were put up.

How is that ridiculous? I'm just saying I wouldn't want to buy the membership and have the site close tomorrow. Then I paid 30 bucks for nothing. Not saying it would, I'm just saying that could be holding people back. If you had a monthly rate like was suggested that might ease some minds. This one won't keeping me from buying (I have faith in the site after playing a while), but it could be for some.

Chris, the reason he felt it was ridiculous was rather clear... if the site were to close down it would be due to lack of funds. How then would you expect those non-existent funds to be returned?

Either way, the year-long period is too high... a month or two would make more sense.

As many other under-age gamers here, I don't have a debit/credit card to do this, though I can easily buy it, my parents don't like me playing that much, but in future I may be able to persuade them to let me.

I would like it if Fizzer could add ads to the forum, I would definitely click 1 or more times a day, to try and help the site out.

if wl were for money it would be profitable. i can think of a number of ways to make money here. fizzer should be and deserves to be rich (based on time spent working). i'd be willing to invest in wl if i could have a say in monetizing it.

lion, u sound as one of those persons who would be able to ruin the game in no time

Fizzer does deserve to get rich off the game and i too feell like @[REGL/V.I.W] *hedja*

I probably would have payed more for membership.

It's a great game, and getting the extra features wasn't the only reason I bought membership. It was also to thank Fizzer for the work he puts into this game.

I don't have a problem with him making boat loads as long as he is improving the site. I don't have any worries there, this is his baby.

I don't think adds would bother anyone, better adds than wl going away! lol (noooooooooooo!!!)
as long as they don't pop up all the time (i hate those) its fine with me! =p

And please no video ads either, just slows things down. I wouldn't care at all if the bottom had static ads though.

I believe we r discussing this 2 much..... adds were already proposed several times and fizzer always opted nto to include them

Yeah, basically the thread has pretty much been wrapped up. Nothing wrong with the price in the eyes of most people I think. All this other stuff are tangents

A logical standpoint on why you should buy a membership:

I bought my membership because I realized that Fizzer's model was not profitable, but I enjoy the game to the point I don't want it to die because of lack of funds. Therefore, I will supply some of the funds myself. :)

actually i believe that most of the members r members because they want to help rather than searching for the member-only-features

I don't know. But isn't it possible to buy membership through check/money order?

Isn't that available to anyone who can visit a bank?
