If u ever hear anyone talking about the original being better plz kill them and then add them to ignore, cause it sucked so much ass it should've been illegal. Thank god for updates...huh? BTW, if anyone out there plays on Ruby server, i'll be watchin for ya ---Macha, the Shadowed I’ve been playing this game since before the Recreation (long-time members know wat i’m talking about) and believe me…the version u see now is way better than the original.

Terrible CPM. Not sustainable." About a 4.7% click through rate overall MaidMarian with Sherwood by itself at 5.8%. Any internet marketer will tell you that's sustainable. “people did not click on ads at all. Terrible CPM. Not sustainable.”

Having a lifestyle business was one of the goals and I'm not about to publish revenue numbers. But 10 million ad impressions a month at a relatively high CPM does ad up. The company only has two employees, just my wife and I, however I was a Technical Art Director in the console games industry prior, not a bad paying job. I pay myself and my wife far better than in those days and we still retain 50% of earnings month over month in the company. No it's not a big company but life is good. The company can certainly afford to have a staff and all the trappings of a traditional business, but that would defeat the purpose of having a lifestyle business where I can code on a beach in Hawaii if I'm so inclined I’ll echo Matt’s remarks.

I have a rough idea of how much he's bringing in, and it's definitely "actual business" territory, if very small business territory. I don't think anyone's really suggesting, either, that Gene's model is particularly useful for most MMOs. He's designed his entire product around this business model, which is why it works for him. --matt I think it’s a little insulting to imply that Gene’s business isn’t an “actual business” to be honest.
