|
|
Hello everyone,
As you know, we have recently introduced the IncrediBots Supporter program. This program allows players to donate funds to support IncrediBots! And in return, supporters receive additional features, and can play the game without ads.
Millions of people have played IncrediBots, and millions more will play in the future. The bandwidth and server requirements are very costly, so we must do what we can to raise funds to offset those costs. Additionally, the continued development of IncrediBots requires that we pay our staff!
If you would like IncrediBots to remain online, and to see continued development, please support us!
Thank you!
If you have any questions or comments, please reply to this post.
EDIT: Ok, many of you have posted your concerns, stating that this is "lame" and that we have ruined everything. I will respond once here, and will not discuss this issue any further!
First: We have not ruined anything. Everything that WAS free is STILL free. We have not taken anything from you.
Second: Running the game costs money. Wanting something to be free doesn't make it free. We want our servers to be free! But they are not! Either we have to make money to cover our costs, or the game cannot function.
Please try to see things from our point of view. We are asking for a mere 7 cents per day to help us keep the game running. Thank you for your understanding, and your support!

I probably won' t become a supporter, since I don' t have a credit card currently , but I definately would if I could, it' s an awesome game!
I do have a question, though: Will stuff like the thrusters ever become free for everybody, or will they be for supporters only forever? |

you need to make scaling and thrusters availiable to evryone. It would be alot more popular and fun! put some hexagons, pentagons, octagons and some 3-d versions of sandbox mode!  |

No, we will not send junk mail to your address.
And no, these features likely will not be free in the future. We hope to continue adding both free and "supporter" features in the future, but these features will not become free any time soon.
Please try to understand things from our position. We would LOVE to give you everything for free, but someone has to pay for the server costs! We cannot afford to do so if we do not make money. That is why we are asking for a VERY SMALL donation of 7 cents per day. Please consider becoming a supporter.
Thank you! |

1 question though
How can you get a rid of the ads because there is no where to log in on the wbesite, just the forum. Or do we log in ingame and it takes away the ads? |

There is a separate website at which you can play the game to get rid of the ads.
The URL for that website will be emailed to you when you become an IncrediBots Supporter. |

People can send each other the URL to the special site, but it won't help as it requires a login on that site.
You can use thrusters on either site, as long as you are logged in, and are an IncrediBots supporter. |
