I'm not sure if what im about to post has been mentioned already and honestly I'm not about to read through 5 pages of stuff just to find out.


What I think we really need is something more to encourage people to have referrals. What happens to me alot and I'm quite sure alot of other people have this problem, but what happens is, is I get referrals to sign up but eventually most of them quite for various reasons or aren't active enough to even bother with. Right now I have 5 or 6 referrals and out of those referrals I have one that is active. So for me it's gotten to the point where I'm saying it's not worth my troubles to search and find the referrals because in the end they will either quit or they won't be active for weeks, then come online for an hour and so on...

What I'm purposing we do to persuade people to put forth the effort to find referrals is get a some sort of bonus just for them signing up. There are various things we could recieve, of course it wouldn't be anything to extreme. Say when a individual gets someone to sign up with his/her referral link, once that person activates there account, we would get the referral points just like we would when a referral reaches a certain level. This could also cause a problem with Donator status because if someone had an insane amount of referrals and got all the credits for it, he could buy donator days with it, which would lose the game money from people spending on Donations.

So another possable thing would be money. Say when a referral activates there account, the person who referred them to the site got $1,000 (or something that is just a "for instance") for them just activating there account. Me personally if I have a referral who I know will play, naturally I will help them out with weapons and armor. The catch is, this money comes from my pocket and it usually cost be about $2,000+ to send them some half decent equipment.

I have done this for 2 referrals. Only 1 of them still plays and they don't play often enough for me to even worry about getting referral points for.

This is just my thought on what we can do to get more people to search for referrals because basically the more we have the more likely we are to have some that will stay and play the game. Not alot of people are going to take the time and effort to find referrals if there aren't going to play and I'm 100% confident that my idea will persuade them to get out there and search for these active players to be!

Now I'm sure there will be some constructive critism about my post and I hope there is lots because I want to read everyone else's opinion on this.
