I know this might seem like a trivial matter, but it is pretty annoying after a long time, and it does send a message that KI might or might not be intending.
So I'm sure many of you are aware that if you either don't have an active membership or if you haven't bought crowns within the last month, the KI Free Games site pops up in your browser upon closing the game client. Is there any way to turn that off? I feel like I'm being treated like a trial player with these self-promotion ads when, in fact, I have been playing continuously for over 7 years and love the game so much that I bought (and continue to buy) every area permanently with crowns and even then, I still buy tons of crowns for new mounts and holiday hoard packs. I even get on daily and do the quizzes for my daily 100 crowns. I understand and accept why crowns players don't get member benefits, but this is just silly.
Before I got my one year membership I hated that too. Then I got it, then I was like.. wow they must have stopped it.. until I found this thread and it's for a membership benefit....
