2AM Game Club is Growing. That is not a typo, the online crowd is piling in. 2AM’s online multi-player gaming service, the 2AM Game Club, has experienced dramatic growth in the last ten months since converting to a totally free pricing model.

Membership at the game site has increased 30 fold and banner impressions per month have skyrocketed to 18 million impressions per month. Since July 1998, advertising revenues have completely supported the site. 2AM’s banner advertising program has been wildly successful. Banner ads are shown to players during game play. The late-90s PC scene is not slowing down, not even a little.
