I can say its probably one of the highest quality games I've seen on Facebook. I was shocked to find out that it was not being developed by a large game studio, but an independant development team. There definately have been significant costs in developing the game and I hope the Devs find a way to keep it sustainable and growing.
BTW, There is a huge war going on between the two largest clans that can only be described as Epic!
A lot of this has been talked about on this topic: http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/09/0517240
There is no such thing as a "free" game. The revenue must come from somewhere, ads, one time purchase fees, or subscription fees. Otherwise the game IS the ad. For example the game the US military uses to recruit new soldiers.
