Oh, man, Ghost's addition is adorable. I just think that we as a community would have to help make it worthwhile too, which I'm not opposed to. People might not buy that kind of thing twice if it turns out not to actually increase sales, but by supporting them and their stores, we'd help support wolvden in kind by making it a desirable option. It's a nice thought! I like it.

Along with people advertising their own shops (or groups or custom decor!), I can 100% see people making silly banner ads to show off their wolves or something! Like "Everyone look at BEANS the BEST BOY AROUND". Like I said in my (very wordy sorry ahdhdb) edit to my post, traditional ads probably wouldn't bring the site a lot of money, but if there was one banner ad location that rotated between 10 different user ads, at $20+ USD a pop for a month long slot, that's pretty decent.

Oooo! I appreciate the added information, thanks so much for that! Kind of tech-illiterate myself so more information like this is always helpful. Definitely agree that I'd be using up more GC on poses and such if more were available. I don't think they'd even need huge differences, a matching lying pose with the wolf's tail, paws, or head in a different position would be enough to make me go "oh, that would suit (InsertWolf) better! I need that!"

The idea of folk showing off their wolves/groups/clans this way sounds entertaining though, it's very endearing! I'd love to see something like that if they implement ads. ~~It also doesn't require cookies which I feel like most folk would prefer.~~

Really support the idea of ads purchased by us the users, that sounds delightful. They could even charge us for the adspace in GC

I think the idea of the toggle to turn off ads or user ads are my favorite; I wouldn't like it if the site became bogged down with ads because 1. loading time could get real annoying really quick, and 2. it almost feels like it would ruin the atmosphere of the game to be reminded constantly to buy real world things.

All that being said, the site is still pretty young and it's such a rich and complicated game that I'm not at all surprised there's still multiple bugs. I personally don't mind them much and the team seems pretty on top of most of the important ones.

I have a strong dislike towards ads but I could live with a few ads if it meant the game would be improved upon more.

Giving it some thought maybe Wolvden could implement ads in a less annoying and less in your face way? Like, a lot of game apps for example allow you to watch an ad to earn tokens or in game money, that could be a good way for wolvden to add ads to the site.

I'm not very thrilled with the idea of Wolvden going the mobile game route and allowing people to earn currency that way, to be honest. If that was implemented, I hope it'd only be SC and not GC, and I say this as someone from a rather poor country that makes buying GC nearly impossible. Frankly, I feel like they need all the financial help they can get and earning GC this way would kind of defeat the point of the ads since it might cost them GC sales.

Just a suggestion but yes I'd agree that SC would've been best, or maybe energy for your lead wolf, idk.. just some way that doesn't force ads on everyone but still allows wolvden to earn some revenue via ads

Support, especially with the toggle option. I'd also love for them to be able to hire more staff writers and programmers, and possibly artists, and this isn't possible if they aren't making enough revenue. I really think more staff would benefit the site for the reasons listed by OP and also for things like... when are we getting the next month-long event? May will be 6 months from November and if we don't get one for May I've lost hope til December.
