Sorry the announcement wasn't very clear : the ad will show up right after you hit "Submit" when you enter your login info, will play for at least 5 seconds (you can skip it) and then you enter the game like usual and no other ad will disrupt your game.
Adblock works on this, so if you have Adblock it won't show up the ad and you will be able to play directly.
We're totally okay with this, as we are ok with people using rather the standalone to avoid ads, that's why we indicated it will be free of ads. We know ads are usually a bother, and we're doing all we can to limit it : 18 hours rule, guests/newbies, standalone etc.

Also, just to be precise, the ad network is indeed Google, but not the usual web Adsense everyone knows (but yes they take a share). It's the ad network used for Youtube. You can see a good example of what it looks like on this website

Tig is currently the only one that can code everything that's being suggested to us for the game. We do not ignore those suggestions (they are neatly organized in our internal ticket system), we simply don't have the human resource for them.
With this additional revenue, we will be able to hire more developers, both for Transformice and for other games, so we can finally make the improvements we are all starving for (yes, we admins do wish we could improve tons of things, but they come in a priority manner and we gotta make heartbreaking choices sometimes)

We show an ad inside the game. An ad network pays us if people click on it. With the additional revenue, we can hire and pay more developers and CCMs.

It'll be fun having a video pop up during wj or something. Money being more important than the players as usual.

They are a company and I'd like to see you try to run a company without revenue. They're doing this to hire more people to improve things.

Tarrtaruss a dit :

Why not put a video before loading the game then?

Haruhitastic a dit :

That's when it appears.

Melibellule a dit :

New players won't see ads, and it will not induce lag, because it's before the game and never shows up after.

Melibellule a dit :

The ads will be small videos, like the ones you can see on Youtube when you want to see a video. We will filter them so you can ALWAYS skip after 5 seconds, but during the test we can't apply the filter. Won't last long.

The ads will appear to accounts who haven't bought fraises, even if another account on the same IP has. It's not IP based, but account-based.
The only IP limit is : one ad per IP per 18 hours.

Melibellule a dit :

Yes, quite similar! You're right to remind this.
The only difference is that it will be after you enter your login info, so we can see if you bought fraises or not.
