Re: Referral System Live
A question. I refer someone and he signs up for 6 months. I get 4 points. These 4 points can be redeemed for two 1 month subscriptions. Could I exchange the 4 points for one 3 month subscription? Basically can the points only be used for a 1 month sub? No matter how many you points you have amassed.

Re: Referral System Live
If I make a second account and buy a sub for it, can I use my other account's referral link to get the points?

Re: Referral System Live
the link appears not to work for me, I clicked it(nothing happened), copied and pasted, and it returns me straight to the forums.

Secondly, it brings you to a registration page, but since your logged into the forums, it will skip it. Try doing it on a diff computer/browser, or logging out of the forums first.

No. The exchange rate is 2 points for 1 month. That's it. Ivelios wrote: If I make a second account and buy a sub for it, can I use my other account's referral link to get the points? Yes.

Re: Referral System Live
Awesome, I just picked up my SS offline fangame again with the intention to complete it this time. I WAS going to put a link in to the to that spiffy welcome page but I like the idea of using this link and getting free subscriptions better

Re: Referral System Live
ok so heres my comment
From what i understand:
Someone clicks on my link and it takes them to the account creation page. They create an account and then they play for 5 months as a f2p. When they finally do decide to go p2p, i get 1 point for their 1 month sub.
If i convince a f2p to go p2p who already has an account, there is no way to get points from that.

Re: Referral System Live
Mmm, mentoring sounds like a workaround to buying subs with in-game creds. You pay a few random newbs a few hundred mil each just before they go P2P, they allow you to become their mentors, easy month-long sub. There is nothing outside of SS involved, so it is not against the (current) rules, either.

You see, with the old system, a new player would pay the subscription for the old player in exchange for in-game creds, and also pay his own. With this, noone pays for the old player's sub, he gets it for free just because he gave money to a newbie before they went P2P, which they were about to do anyway. Then again, I may just be seeing the worst-case scenario.
