I few weeks back I got the message below from the NS2 people. In the end, I tried it, went through 10 minutes worth or clicking, unchecked all of the "it's ok to email me" type of lines and didn't wind up getting the free Jennifers like they mentioned. On top of that, I logged into the email address I used today and had 263 junk emails. This promotion was the only thing I had signed up for and made sure to unclick all of the places that asked for me email. Please watch out if you do the same thing.
"Here at Jolt headquarters, we’ve been reading many, many comments from the players about the various features we’ve introduced (with varying levels of success . And as promised, we’ll continue to add more (check out the Rankings today) until someone cuts off our hands. But we also know that money’s getting tight, the economic skies are darkening and there’s no major superhero movie lined up next year to distract us (Star Trek doesn’t count). So with the latest update today, we’ve included an option from Offerpal that lets you get Jennifers simply by signing up to an affiliate partner, rather than paying money. Usually this means signing up to a service or downloading a browser plug–in etc. Offerpal manage the whole process and we’ve checked them out so it’s all completely solid. It won’t suit everyone but if you see an offer that you’re genuinely interested in, why not check it out and get free Jennifers at the same time?

It looks like NS2 is all about making money for the development team. Even if you don't sign up for Offerpal --- a blantantly cheap trick to ad-spam you, you're bombarded with two google ads on every page view, one on the top right, and one on the left (vertically)

That's the problem. NS1 is more about the history you have with the game and the players you interact with. NS2 seems more about stats. Until NS2 has more history, the NS1ers will always want to play the original first.
