Allods Online Forum

I've been a part of online games that have offered this system such as EVE,WoW,Tales of Pirates,and so on. It is something that allows the community to not only recruit potential players but also grows the game! I have been looking for any sort of system like that on here and the closest I saw was the mentor system but it's not really the same. My suggestion is to do the following for BOTH f2p and p2p!

P2P Referral Link:

Upon clicking and signing up on the players referral link the new player will receive:

-1 week free game time(no limits can go as far as they want until time runs out)
-Beginner mount(non tradeable)
-Beginner potions(non tradeable)
-Reward every 10 or 15 levels(rewards can be decided by the devs/community completely optional)

The player that referred the new player will receive:

-Game time if the new player buys game time equal to OR half of the purchased game time. EX: new player bought 30 days veteran player gets 15 days free game time.
-Every 10 or 15 levels that the new player gets the veteran player will get a reward from mount skins to costumes and even some more useful items should the devs/community want(optional)

F2P referral system:

New Players:

-Bonus exp scrolls
-More potions
-Beginner mount
-Bonus rewards every 10 or 15 levels

Veteran Players:

-Receive 10% of total crystals purchased by referred players. EX: New player buys 2000 gems Veteran player gets 200(percentage is up to devs/community)
-Every 10 or 15 levels that the new player gets the veteran player will get some sort of reward like bags or potions and so on should the community allow it and it is completely optional.

This system should work in the sense that p2p players will want to get more players to click and join the p2p server so they get free game time and at the same time the f2p server players will want to get more players in for the chance to gain some free crystals! This can be made easier if the site or players know how to create banners and place these ads on their blogs,youtube videos,forum signatures,and so on as well as being able to share this link on twitter,facebook,google+,reddit,and all those other social sites!

This is just a basic concept though but it gets the point across.

Quoted from "Oracle"

There is already a referral system in the game, however, since the transfer to My.com and the new site, it hasn't been working. It used to work in the past. Free players would refer a player. The new player would receive a costume, exp scrolls and a bigger bag when they started, and the person who referred them would receive referral tickets whenever the player bought something from the cash shop. They received an amount based on a certain percent of the price of the item, with the percent getting higher the higher the referred person levelled. These tickets could be used to buy costumes, mounts, potions, and even a permanent Master Goblin. On the P2P server the system was supposed to give the person who referred some free play time.

I managed to find the old information on the guildportal: http://guilds.en.allods.com/page/invite-…s-online-mmorpg
But since the transfer, the referral system is unavailable.

I saw something about it in game but couldn't find any link on the website and was wondering if it had been removed >.>'
Would still be nice to have this available since some of us have websites and blogs we could easily create a banner for and place the link there as an ad x_x

They should look into that so we can get a link to share with friends and others to join allods, but they would need a link for p2p server and f2p,

we could just select which server we want the link for from a drop down tool in an account management page? Something simple like that.

Quoted from "Avozinho"

Well,

Here goes my 2 cents.

We, players, know the differences between Allods p2p and f2p.
A new player, unless he already knows the game, will go to f2p as 1st choice. That would be what i would do (and did).
Putting a link on main page won't solve the "problem". It may help, and it's better than nothing.
There should be some place explaining the differences between p2p and f2p. New players don't know them, and "don't care".

Here's a list of some suggestions.
a) Are there any mods on p2p? who are they? there should be at least 2, one each faction to help new players.
b) I posted some time ago that there are no GMs in game. That was deleted and I was told CMs are GMs. GMs used to participate and promote ingame events. Never saw any ingame events with GMs since mail.ru took the management.
c) Some campaigns for 6.0. "Pay" some twitchers and streamers.
d) Send emails to "old" inactive players, giving them 1 month free and some prizes (a unique costume, platinium coins, mount, etc).

I like those ideas :o
Especially the one with mailing older players and offering incentive to return! I got the same thing from WoW and another game once and it caught my attention xD
