New Referal System

Fri Apr 22, 2005 1:49 am

They removed the Neopoits link to make it go to your inventory because the referal system wasn't that good. Well now they redid it with better prizes and you can see WHO you refered! For more info see:

i am pretty sure that this happened a couple of months ago

EDIT- i found out when it came out
We started logging your referrals more thoroughly on March 9, 2005. Some data may be missing prior to that.
Frozen or not activated accounts do not count towards your referrals.
Hopefully your referrals won't take your referral away by getting themselves frozen!

Better prizes?
Those prizes are worse.
100 referals for a pb instead of 10!

100 signups for a pb..did you know sometimes,the referral system doesn't work.Some of my friends signed up ( through me ) but I don't get my items as promised :roll: They activated their accounts but still nothing for me.When I check my referral page,it says I only referred so-and-so many people when in fact,I referred more than the number stated :roll:

part of the new referral system is if someone does sign up and a) doesn't activate their account; or b) gets frozen/self-freezes, then your referral count goes down by that person or persons. That kinda stinks, IMO. It's not like we can control what someone else does.

50 refferals for a basic PB? Please. Guess they're kicking their marketing strategy up a notch to offset the people that will leave because of ads and the new movie. :x

EDIT: Also, why doesn't the refer link work? When I check mine out it just takes me to the create-a-pet page.

oy.

I am Hopping Mad that I had just gotten to a prize on the OLD system when they implemented the new system (with the adjustment) landed on the number for a prize as well. I got NEITHER prize! :x

Yeah. I noticed this yesterday my self.

I am not happy that we loose points for other peoples action. Isn't it enough we at least TRY to get people to sign up? We should at least be able to keep the points we work towards... :cry:

Edit: The NeoDolls have been around since the Refferal began, but I am editing because I want to show my favorite one...

I bet those dolls date back to the days of Donna-art and such ;) They're a bit scary-looking.

I think it's good that they updated the program. I've been wondering how the old system stuck around for so long, as it had some obvious flaws. The prizes aren't as good, but they make a lot more sense at least.
