Lets not forget that, just like we pay for television by being subjected to commercials, we are paying for Farmtown by having those advertisements on our screen. Take a look at your status bar sometimes when you are playing. You see all those websites that zoom by? Those are cookies being placed on our computers for advertisers so they can put ads that will be more effective on our screens. Everyone sees different ads and our information is sold, trust me. So don't try selling that "it takes money to make the game work" line. If none of us paid anything to play the game Slashkey would still get lots of money from all that advertising.

no one is putting anyone down just valid points yes thay might get some from the advertising but being that i advertise my business on facebook down the right hand side i doubt farmtown get that as i pay facebook everytime someone clicks on it so i would think that it is actually facebook that benefits there not farmtown/slashkey
research has shown that each player to farmtown is worth about $2.00 each calculated by total income by the # of players.
farmtown used to have advertising below the game window but that was removed some time ago.
