You are about the fifth MMO world vendor to contact us this month with the
promise of riches based on performance. The answer is no.

If you'd like to advertise, you have the info.  I think at least one
of them is currently advertising on the site.  Good luck.

BTW, the MMO vendors targetting SpellingCity:

FreeRealms
JumpStarts 3DOnline World

Adotomi - This seems to be an affiliate network focused on games.

SecretBuilders
and some others whose names I've forgotten....
