Buddy Referrals 08/24/2017 12:48 PM CDT

I wanted to let everyone know that our Buddy Program is still active. You can view your Buddy Referral status after logging into your account.

https://www.play.net/gs4/account/buddypoints.asp

If you see pending referrals, this is because the person who signed up under your referral code didn't stay for 2 billed months.

To give someone a Buddy Referral link, just use the link below, but put your account name in.

http://buddy.play.net/gs4?simu-wyrom

You can also email one and find more information on this page.

https://www.play.net/gs4/buddy/gs4buddy.asp

For every new account that signs up for a Basic or higher subscription, and stays for 2 billed months, you'll get a $14.95 credit.

"you'll get a $14.95 credit." -- Wyrom

Could you do that--opt in, flag, different setting in the invitation, whatever--as 1800 SimuCoins, instead? (1700 == $14.98 at store)
(I'm totally unlikely to be bringing anyone into the game, but for those who DO, they might prefer the choice...)

Right now, it's a credit applied to your account. Should this pick up and we see a large number of referrals, we can talk about updating it.

Hi Wyrom, is your buddy program email template up to date? The Sample Message still mentions the 30-day free trial. We have F2P now. Or do the Buddy Signups require a credit card to be added on character creation (e.g. negating the option to sign up for F2P)? Or....can an F2P account be converted to Basic/Prime and still be eligible for the Buddy Program?

The email is likely old. I'll need to get onsite to update it or take it down.

None of this is new, I just was reminding people that it existed. The subject came up the other night when GM Necios showed me something.

By not saying what that something is, you leave the door open for hilarious deliberately off guesses.

GM Necics opens his robe and offers PM Wyrom an inviting smile, along with the peek.

Speaking seductively GM Necics say, "Would you like to be my special buddy?"

GM Necics winks at PM Wyrom.

I'm in shock that the full play-by-play of that night was intuited. Am I that obvious in my methods?

Yes. Including your alter-ego, Necics.
