Are ads a good idea?

These few days I've been scanning through various threads and found many problems relating to the price of this game.

Some people suggested having a "full version" and a "free version". I honestly DISAGREE. It would really tick people off, so the numbers of players would plummet rapidly. Without many players, it would not be fun for people with the "full version".

The solution to this problem is advertisements. Why don't you use pop-up ads as revenue??

Benefits to players:

• the game would be FREE
• gold could become a IN-GAME currency which means you won't have to pay real cash for Auora's Blessing and other items of value
• in the game everybody starts out fairly

Benifits to Playmesh:

• a lot of people play Valor, so the ads get viewed a lot
• if you keep the game all free, more people would play, which also means more ad viewers
• right now you can't make money off freeloaders who don't plan to buy anything, but with ads everybody veiws them
• again there is always a steady flow of income (currently, if people stop buying gold, you won't get money)
• reduce the amount of angry mobs!

What do you guys think about this?

No - don't need an advert for Viagra every time Aurora pops up.

hahHH funny!!!

Although NO to ads.
(And as I now know you playmess guys actually listens to peoples advice when they "threaten" with downrating you at the app store) I'll say this once and never again; Id stop playing if you starting with adds.
And rate down valor in app store.
For what its worth.

It's actually not a bad idea. If you want gold to be cheaper then you have to be willing to watch a 30 second ad. When you go to get a quest then you have to watch a video. All other free games have ads, that is why the game stays free. Ads can even help you find free games. Most of the free apps I have I saw in ads. In fact I even started playing Valor because I saw an ad for it. Unless you are willing to continue paying $50 a month for Aurora's Blessing then you will have to take 30 seconds and watch an add once a day.

No, I didn't mean video ads. I ment like picture ads that you can exit almost immediately . Like the ones on the Scrabble App.
