You asked, we listened!

We’ve got some exciting news just for YOU! :balloon: We’ve heard your feedback about those sidebar ads on YoWorld.com, and we’re introducing a super easy way to make them disappear like magic! :star:

Here’s the scoop:

Make any purchase of $1.99 or more, and poof! – no more sidebar ads for a whole 30 days! :shocked:

To sweeten the deal, we’ve got an awesome limited-time promo on YoCash for just $1.99. :D Don’t miss out!

Are you a VIP? You’re in luck – this applies AUTOMATICALLY to you, too!

Heads up: It might take up to an hour for your ads to vanish, so grab a snack and refresh your game to see the magic in action! :smug:

WOW Isn't this the BEST IDEA EVER!

Game supporters don't get flashed all day....
For those playing for Free, well you have to pay the bills someway for their seat at the table.
Bravo. Brilliant!

It may be incentive enough to get me to start spending. This gives me hope that the game is still going strong.

P.S. Don't you think you should include your game supporting VIP's in this equation somewhere?
Just a thought.

How about the ads for getting coins? I didn't pay any money to stop those but they are stopped anyway.

Those should be working for most players. We have been working with our ad provider, and currently, people in North America should be getting ads without issues. We are continuing to work with them to get more ads for people in other regions.

Many places around the internet are doing this and its making them money. People still wont be happy but the ads also make this game money.

Players paying to remove them mitigates that loss :idea:

It's a win/win :thumbsup:

Thank you. I have also noticed that the lag has decreased (the game had been nearly unplayable). I have always been a firm believer that VIPs should not have to see ads.

This is awesome news and I'm really glad that it's automatic for VIP's as it should be. Well done. This really was a YAWL. :) Well done.

So you allow invasive ads on your own server. Ads that cause lag and have a negative impact on players gaming experience and you expect your players to pay to get rid of them. And you say players asked to pay to get rid of them. Well done for convincing players your doing them a favour. Genius move BVG!!! I don't know why but I find this hilarious :haha:

Oh, happy news this is!! I don't love that we have to pay to get rid of the ads, but since I am a VIP already I'm glad it's included in the VIP package. And I know you need the revenue. I just feel bad for anyone who's not a VIP and doesn't need any deals to supplement their cash and coins. But this is a step forward.

And thank you for the new items in the friend visit chests! These are ones I will never be able to have too many of! LOL

I don't think any players asked to be able to pay to get rid of them. I think, in my case anyway as is in others', the point was that if we have VIP we shouldn't have to deal with the ads. I mean, that alone isn't incentive enough to sign up for VIP, but if we already have it or were planning to sign up, it's just an added perk. Other games do it this way also.

Thanks SO much for the recent changes to the game... both are BIG improvements ! As a VIP, I'm very happy to read the ads, and the annoying lag they bring, are permanently gone ! I never thought it was fair that VIPs had to deal with ads.

I also LOVE that the neighbor visit chests have finally been updated with new items. I think everyone would agree that the industrial stuff needed to go away.

Now, if only I could watch ads to earn coins. I am in North America (Texas) and still can't watch ads. I still get a pop-up that says no ads are available no matter what time, day or night, I try to watch.
