Allow Banner Ads for Increased Revenue

[Chadmw]

I have only been playing here for about a month. And I already have seen non premium member go from allowing 4 games to 2 games.

I understand the problem is lack of bandwidth, which you need money for. And for myself, this being a fairly new site with many bugs I don't trust having to send money for a membership (and I believe a lot of people feel the same way).

So to create revenu why don't you guys get banner ads, they are a very effective way to earn money for a site like this. Just try to avoid the Pop up banners as those will end up annoying everyone. But regular banners on the site could help you guys generate a lot of money.

If you guys decide to get banner adds, try to make it discrete, i.e. not ruining the look or feel of conquerclub, cuz its sweett loooking

which you need money for. And for myself, this being a fairly new site with many bugs I don't trust having to send money for a membership

What Bugs?

There are very few bugs that I've expierence in recent weeks, and as for Banner Ads they generate next to nothing in revenue.

PLUS bugs (seen none myself) are not money bugs lol, only a few have been uncovered and that is like fortifying in maps and/ or attacking. I.e. can't fortify from eher to here etc.

I've mentioned this before, and I'll say it again. We are bombarded with enough advertising throughout the day. Conquer Club has a nice, non-commercial feel and I don't want to spoil that. I may put an ad now and then in the side column to promote a partner website or something, but for revenue I'm just interested in selling Premium Membership.

Would it be cost prohibitive to move the prem players over to a dedicated server so that they get a faster game server than the non premium.

What happens then is that with the prem guys on their own server and the capacity on the non prem servers will allow you to go back to having 4 games.

I think the whole cause of dropping games for non prem, is the unlimited capacity you are allowed once you fork out 20 bucks. I think $20 for a year is extremely cheap. Some may differ, its an opinion.

More people playing means more concurrent games. The fact that this caused you to limit the people who you most want playing, those trying the game out before they buy is going to hurt you in the long run I think. I currently have 14 games running, and I am now thinking that this is doing nothing for helping the server out if I want more peeps to join and pay so we can get better servers.

Rough suggestion, and no doubt gonna piss off the people who paid money(who I count among before you start flaming me for being cheap) but better for the game in the long run.

Limit the prem people(not permanently) to 10 games and the non prem to 4, until you have enough prems to earn some profit and get a dedicated server with unlimited games for the prems while bumping the non prems to 6. I dont think the wait should be too long if with prem you get adedicated server, I know a few people that would convince to signup.

Think it beneits everybody in a few months, faster servers for prem, more games to play before buying for the non prem
