Have you seen the spamming of referral links for other games in UD? I wouldn't want that on anyone. I don't really see how this would add value to the game. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 21:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Oddly enough I've hardly seen any, normally I see referrals on forums and websites and Since I play 80% in game I guess that means I'm lucky. I am aware that referrals tend to get spammed in sigs and such on forums but the only games I've played with them (and granted that's not as many as some people) tend to have no limits on the bonuses you receive or they have x per day but carry over to the next if you have extra, which inevitably encourages people to spam them. By placing a 100XP maximum regardless of time period there is no need to spam it once you've got 20 people to join and if people fear the counter is going to encourage it then I'll happily remove it. This isn't meant to add to the game or provide people with bonuses, like most systems I've seen, it's simply a thank you for those who do. --Kamikazie-Bunny 21:54, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Might be better off making it based on time rather than some pre-set cap. If it were a maximum of two referrals a month for 5xp each, that might work a little better-- yes, someone could zerg a level out of it, but it would take them 10 months to do so, so who cares? You could even offer a bigger reward, if you capped the # of referrals per month, something like 10xp or even 15xp-- if it takes a zerger 3 months to gain a level from this, it would not raise a ruckus (I don't think). And yes, I hear the fallensword.com radio broadcasts too, but I largely ignore them. ~ extropymine ^{Talk | NW | 4Corners} 22:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Since there seems to be no more feedback I'll stick this up for voting soon... first breakfast! --Kamikazie-Bunny 13:18, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
