When you load a page in one of the new game worlds, does your browser pause on "loading from AdBrite.com" or something to that effect before the page finishes loading?

I don't mind people using AdBlock if the ads are slowing you down. ;)

If you prefer to delete my comments re using Adblock, I would certainly understand - it's up to you, I wouldn't mind.

Nah it's fine. I'm not going to pretend it doesn't exist (in fact I use it on sites with audio/flash popover ads). I don't want the ads to ruin players' experience in the game though. :)

I think most of the ads are fine, they're not too obtrusive. Heck, I'd be fine if you added a second ad at the bottom of the page (it's not like anybody actually scrolls to the bottom of the page... so you'd get your ad revenue, and nobody would ever actually see the ads :P)

It's a mixture of CPC (pay per click) and CPM (pay per impression), but I don't know the specific breakdown.

I get (even on fast internet) a large delay on waiting for ads to show, especially (I think) when the server is busy

I haven't seen any of the evony ads (thankfully) in a while, but they used to be annoying as you used to see them everywhere.

I'd prefer ads at the bottom of the page though, because then it might load everything else faster!
