Today I found out that there was once a referral rewards system in the beginning. However one of the major cons was that it was automated, allowing people with vpns to get unlimited rewards. To combat this, we could make it so in order for the referrer to receive the referral points/rewards, the referree must reach an in-game Playtime of 24 hours, a certain Total Level or even complete a certain amount of Achievements tasks. This ensures that players cannot just constantly make new accounts to reap the benefits. The referree's must actually play the game.

 

 

Referree Reequirements

- Must achieve an in-game Playtime of 24 hours.

- Or a Total Level of 1500. (This is roughly a level of 68-69 in every skill not including Construction)

- Or complete 30 Achievement tasks

 

Rewards

- 20% Bonus exp for 1 hour

- Pest Control points

- Crystal Keys

- Or whatever rewards were in the old Referral Rewards

(Please take note that these rewards are only an example and would not be the actual rewards in place. Further thought would be put into the rewards if the system was brought back)

If you have any suggestions for rewards please let me know!

 

Pros

- More players

- More players = more votes and donations

 

Cons

- Too many players could overcrowd certain areas of PvM such as Bosses and Slayer

 

 

With a Referral System, we could even add an Achievement task to refer x-amount of players!

 

Please let me know what your thoughts are! And if you have more/better ideas to build on top of this such as better rewards, share them and I will add it to this post and give you credit for your additions.

I support this, even tho the cons you have stated does not concern me since i'm not a pvmer. I'd like to see more skillers in game. Lets see other ppl opinions

Not against free advertisement or anything, but those rewards seems very trash compared to just voting once or something.

Especially considering the effort required.

 

If they were to incentivize referring people the rewards would need to be better.

These rewards were quickly written down, they would not be the actual rewards in place, and are to only be thought of as an example. For sure if this system were to be implemented, more thought would be put into the list of rewards. I don't know what rewards they had before, hence "- Or whatever rewards were in the old Referral Rewards", assuming the rewards they chose were enjoyed by the community. Please ignore the Rewards list and let me know what you think of the main point of the post, which is combatting the loopholes of the old system.

Again, these are only examples and can be changed accordingly.

Did the previous system not have any requirements at all when attempting to claim the rewards?
