Get your friends and go to WAR: Mythic offers recruit-a-friend program

When Christmas comes and you want to find the very best present, let your friends and family go to WAR with you! Warhammer Online has just thrown open the gates to its own recruit-a-friend program, letting current subscribers send out free 14 day trials to anyone they wish. The only catch to the program is that you get a limited number of invites. Initially you get three for being a subscriber and then you receive one new invite each month to a maximum of six.

If your buddy converts his trial account to a full account by buying the game, then you get the standard 30 days free. Mythic's notice has already promised more rewards for recruiting in the future though, so it seems the program will expand beyond the scope of free game time. Although, honestly, none of us are arguing against free game time. It's the gift that keeps on giving, until someone steals your keep.

Note: This may sound familiar. Holiday oops.

It's simply a case of "par condicio". The previous article had a destruction group in the picture. They had to do an order one too :P

From my time in game, I figured Order had no friends.

I'm currently on the phone with customer support and so far these haven't come up in my account because I pay with gamecards instead of direct credid card billing.

I'll give an update later on if this can get changed or whatever..but I find it kind of stupid they screw out those that use game cards over credit cards. I only use game cards because the last game I used a credit card for was Age of Conan which overcharged me as well as tacked on a foriegn money transer fee as well, and that's why I don't use a credit card for games that I can pay with game cards.

Oh MJ just got a tad more pathetic. When are you going to understand that we don't want to play your crap game. We hoped for massive PvP and we got loegomen running around as if they just shit their pants. God your game is clunky MJ.
