News Game Accounts Activated + Referral URL

Hello!

We've approached time to activate the game account management, which means you may create your game accounts and manage them. And part of game account system is about how many game accounts you may have, based on your referrals. We have adopted new policy which means all new accounts get one free game account, and for first referral they have successfully referred will obtain two more game accounts for total of three game account slots. And every forth referral will grant additional game slot.

https://piratekings.online/forum/game-accounts/

0/No Referral: 1 game account
1 Referral: 3 game account
2 Referral: 4 game account
3 Referral: 5 game account
4 Referral: 6 game account
....

Remember, the referral must be sent by our "invite a friend" system because they contain special URL which is linked to your account so when players sign up, you will receive the additional game account slot! This is critical and important in many aspects not just about game accounts slot but, when friends invite their friends to play, they are MUCH MUCH more likely to check out the game let alone playing it with their friends. Yes there are many prospective players, but frequently, completely strangers will come and then just go in matter of minutes or hours. Where if you, as a friend, invite your friend, they are more likely to find the game more enjoyable due to being in familiar environment plus free PLVL lol! I hope everyone will at least try to invite few friends, and hopefully it will help populate the server so it reaches necessary level of activity to get everything start flowing.

REMEMBER SERVER LAUNCHES ON JULY 29TH!

That's true, but all of them are ''dead'' accounts. I know none of my fb friends will play this server and I'm pretty sure like 99% of this forum users are in same situation as me.

As I stated, for you that is the case, maybe for many others as well, but there's some people who it will work on.
As long as the numbers of invited people > 0 its fine.
We might actually get those invited via this system to use this forum in the future as well and get more activity in the future.
Now it's implemented anyway, no need to change it, let's make the best of it and talk about if its worth or not when we are actually able to evaluate this.

 

[Radagast]

It's fine, it encourages people to actually go and invite people to the server.
Some might argue that you can create alts, and that is certainly true, however, there's always a some people who will follow the system as it is intended.
So, the system Zankza chose is fine, even if only 1 person invites a friend because of this system, it is a success.

It will be a success if someone joins the game, I agree, but honestly, I'd invite everyone I know who might play this server to play without this nonsense. Now I have to ask my friends to basically make accounts on this site so I can make another game account. I'd understand if we would get like.. Idk. 10fairy rations when someone actually logins into game or hits lv10 or something. But denying people to make as many game accounts as they want to doesn't make sense to me.

We have not denied, you can create your own second facebook account for that all matters.

I was wondering if there was to "Buy" a slot or use credits for it?

Well usually people immediatelly do this, without having to be hinted towards "abusing" such a system. XD

 

[Shinon12345]

Why would you wanna buy it anyway?

Here's your solution.

I prefer to be lazy

We can't. I made fake FB account. It didn't let me use my link. I guess it depends on IP.

 

[Radagast]

Good idea by AppleTree! Let us buy 10 account slots for 10rum or something. Don't make enourmous pricing tho pls.

@Shinon12345

I'm not arguing against the invite friends. I'm arguing against the reward but I do think that this is flawed system.

It's fine, it encourages people to actually go and invite people to the server.

Ok sure, that's true. Most people know having extra characters is always useful, e.g., buffers, extra inventory space, etc. It forces people more than encourage them though. Which is why I think it's a bad approach; because it annoys players. And annoying players could make them leave.

Plus the fact that they don't even have to play. So most of the time it will stop at the "Invite". Also it doesn't help that you can create an alt facebook account yourself. I even wonder how many of those extra accounts this server is getting will actually be players.

There are a lot of other alternatives which wouldn't annoy anyone and also make those "Invites" become "players" instead of just "accounts"; and actually promote some helping (and maybe even get some friends and not play solo like Zankza likes).

Alternatives like:
Giving X rations for helping a referraled account's character reach lv40.
Giving custom apparels like masks, wings or watever after lv 60.
Giving amps, a title medal.

Anyways, I think any of those alternatives would encourage them too, right?
And I think you agree too because...

there's always a some people who will follow the system as it is intended.

...and...

even if only 1 person invites a friend because of this system, it is a success.

Dude no ._. . That's a total abuse. Paying for a basic feature.

Paying for a basic feature.

I don't have any FB friends that is currently at the moment playing TOP, some of em were playing but quitted So is there a way to advertise it?

Abusable after a certain amount of time.
You can also just create fake accounts and invite fake friends and level them up to get the reward.

 

[Abelito]

How is it abusable? It's not like leveling takes no time. You can tweak the amount of rations or tweak the Lvl so it's not worth the time or just barely. You can make them as separate items in Iteminfo and make them untradable if you don't want them to sell them. What's so wrong about selling them though? Oversupply of rations leading to a decrease in price? That can easily be tweaked so that it doesn't happen.

I'll try to think more alternatives when I come back of college but I thought you said anything was a success as long as one person follows the system?


Edit.

Or actually whatever I don't care anymore.

 

[Shinon12345]

but I thought you said anything was a success as long as one person follows the system?.

Was referring to the Invite system in which the reward is Game accounts.

It might become abusable when you get to a higher level and can kill monsters more efficiently or faster hence making lvling alts to 41 will be faster.
However I do like the thought of untradable rations that you can get. On the other hand, rations are just..rations lol
As long as its not oversupply it would be ok.

No such system on vanilla server
