This seems to imply FM/EA's implementation of the new gold coin free for watching an ad was pretty competent, after the beta test in the beginning. My guess is the 2 or 3 day delay in releasing this update was due to the ad system change. they probably couldn't delay the release any longer w/o damaging the schedule down the road, which would probably create problems with their licensing contracts. That they took the ad system down after the release suports this, in my opinion.

They probably had things fixed when the ads came back up on 10/1.
