We can incentivize our players to promote IC and invite others by awarding them Imperial Conflict Points for sharing a personal referral link.
-
To prevent abuse, we should award points once the referred player reaches a minimal threshold of activity, which can include their forum trust level.
-
The invite link could use a url shortener or custom domain
-
TinyURL is free
-
We can also use rulethegalaxy.com, which I registered for the blog but never used.
- For example: rulethegalaxy.com/i_like_pie would be my invite. There would be no complicated code necessary.
-
The invite url would redirect to our existing account creation page, but giving credit to the player who sent the invite.
-
-
We could track/rank players with the most successful invites.
