    They could reintroduce something like this to the game, but the question is what will it reward and how many need to become active players?

    That is a possible reward they may wish to implement if they did recreate a referral program. I have seen some MMO's offer a % in store money for referred player purchases.

    Do you ever have anything positive to say in threads, or are you simply just trolling? My guess is you don't care as to whether or not they did offer a referral program.

    The way the game currently works, and how the community is quick to jump onto any workaround that presents itself, I could see people exploiting this big-time. Just refer yourself over and over again, create multiple accounts and cash in. Even restricting it to purchases might not work, considering you can still get 30-days f?r ~0.99 Euros.

    would be great but they have to fix all the issues first..
    i tried to refer my friend yesterday to play.
    after making an account to log in, installing arc.. downloading the 12gbs of the game..

    as soon as the game loads it says, unable to connect to server.. timeout..

    he tried for a few hours and gave up.. uninstalled everything and that was it.
    potential customer lost..

    Give refined dilithium to referrals:
    - small amount when a friend joins to STO
    - a small amount when a friend's character reaches some milestones (rank of captain, rank of Vice Admiral, first tier of a reputation faction)
    - a big amount if friend goes to Gold, even bigger if goes to lifetimer
    - a big amount if friend buys ZEN the first time.

    Honestly, I never used a friend referral in the way it was designed to. It's always a friend of mine want to play, I give him the referral for extra goodies, but he would have played anyway.

    Yeah that would suck, and it's really loss on both sides.

    There's no point to a referral program in a FTP game. Anyone can just sign up and play for free. What's to stop me from making 20 email accounts and simply referring myself 20 times to get a reward?

    Even with the last Referral Program I know there were plenty of people who bought $5 copies of the game and referred themselves multiple times to get the free Galaxy X - as that was the only way you could originally get it.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    If the player buys something with actual money than grind (As I think the system should be), then one would get the reward.


    I for one would not mind this system being implemented.
    Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

    I hope STO get's better ...
