Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey sarcastically describes such ads as, for example, a 30-second ad replacing the Vardorvis capture.1
  • Gnomonkey interprets Jagex's wording about ads as meaning ads are coming eventually.2
  • Gnomonkey says the survey's mention of ads was one of the things people were upset about and that he does not want ads entering the game.3
  • Gnomonkey says the only plan of action so far on ads is ads in free-to-play, which he says is not what he would have gone for to rebuild trust.4
  • Gnomonkey notes in a later segment that Jagex confirmed it will explore ads in free-to-play, and says players answering that as fine because it used to be a browser game does not apply today.5

Events

  • The survey included cheaper membership options with ads included in non-gameplay areas in a non-intrusive manner.1
  • In its blog response Jagex said there are no plans to include ads in the base membership or to make ad-supported options a significant part of the game.2
  • The CEO's apology said Jagex will not include in-game advertisements in any regular paid membership, but may explore ads in free-to-play in the future, though there are no plans currently.6
