I can see both sides here. On quite a few points, I agree with Bridget. It's not that FF doesn't deserve to be advertising, but we should definitely make our big push, if you will, when a major patch is released... something that would be seen as "major improvements", or at least quite a bit of changes.
At the same time, however, I see the theory behind the advertisement now. Yes, 5-25 seem incredibly small, and I realize the wolf cry effect, but a major factor in what keeps players in game, or playing at all, is other people playing. Small advancements, over time, would ultimately increase our "recruitment efficiency" by that regard.
The question, though, really- is how to balance these two effects to make this game flourish.
