Topic: Suggestion: Refer a Friend Program
Continuing the discussion in http://forums.perpetuum-online.com/top … -superman/, here a few ideas on how to flesh out this suggested program.
1. At signup, a unique url is assigned to each account, this becomes the referral code. For existing accounts, this url code is generated.
2. In the Perpetuum client, add a link in agent profile leading to a Referral Center on the Perp website showing number of referrals made, referral code, and rewards received/available.
3. In the Referral Center you can send referral emails directly that include your code, as well as copy/paste your unique URL for placement elsewhere.
4. Whenever someone clicks on the link and signs up, the database remembers who referred the player, and when the referred account redeems a GTC, the reward is issued to the referrer in game in the form of a special container placed in the home base private storage. An in-game mail should be generated notifying the player of a successful referral and reward.
Suggestion for reward tier system:
Tier 1. A given amount of NIC such as 2M, as well as one special item based on invested EP:
Heavily Industrial - Decoder, level weighed-random based on EP level invested (more EPs in the area, higher chance of a higher level decoder)
Heavily Combat Oriented - 2M NIC, and one 100% "full cover" insurance policy on robot, mods and cargo on that robot. Replacement with exactly the robot lost. Transferrable and sellable. Usable in addition to insurance limited by EP skill.. i.e., can have on standard policy and this reward regardless of EP investment.
Heavy Mining: 2M NIC, and a mining "booster" that doubles the available ore in the locked tile. Duration to be determined.
Balanced EP spending, random reward. :-)
For higher tiers, higher level rewards....
