Expansion of opportunities Feature Pack
The game management has noticed many players are using Ad-blockers. This means that less ads show, and therefore STNE earns less for showing adverts. this undermining of the game managements profits means its harder to keep stne running for free.
Admittedly, they are sometimes very annoying adverts. Our first action will therefore be to use instead slightly less irritating advertising (for example, by Amazon) to offer a less annoying experience when a ad-page comes up. For example, Pop up video adverts will not show unless you click the advert, not just roll over it.
Furthermore, we have implemented a system which records how many ads each player blocks. If you block to many adverts, you will have to wait 30 seconds occasionally during gameplay. However, the possibility is offered to have this effect removed, once you disable your ad blocker. (You will be checked of course, so don't lie please).
Please remember players who use ad blocker are hurting stne directly. We cannot keep the game up if we cannot pay for it to keep running. We need the money from advertising to keep the game running. So please do not use ad blockers..
Of course we know that not everyone can use Featurepack and naturally wants to use ad blockers in its place, so from tommorow we unlock "Advertisement-Free" Featurpack for half the price of normal feature pack per month. However, you will only recieve the benefit of no ads, not the other features you would get with the full version.
We are pleased to tell you, the Advertising-only-free FP/Full Feature pack can now also be purchased with in-game credits at a rate of 140/280 credits per week!
We hope by restoring fairness in this area, to make all sides happy. Should you wish to help us solve this, by offering a better idea , do not hesitate to post your suggestions in the forum!
Thank you.
