It depends what is on the ad. If it looks bad, obviously I ignore it; on the contrary, if it looks good, I check out the site. I don't go out to stores like Best Buy to find new games, since I feel really nerdy doing that (although I don't doubt that I am one, I'd just rather not be seen in public doing that), so I check ad's.

I remember someone posted where they had found a text ad for Graal, and while I'm not sure if that was real or not, it was worded pretty poorly. You'd need to decide whether Graal should be advertised to developers or players. Saying it's a community-made MMORPG just sounds stupid, even though the ability to "create Graal" is what is keeping a lot of people here.

I've seen a few of those Ad's, from really early on in Graal (only advertising Kingdoms, so it was around 2002). It could be advertised like you said, as a community-made game, but that should be a separate part of the information in the ad, or not in it at all. Mostly it should be named as a "progressing" game, as I'd put it, where the servers progress with how players want them to, and not stagnant with item/quest/holiday additions only like in most other games.
