Referral link possible issue.
-
Took referral link from a long time friend and guild/group leader. No referral code showed up initially. Signed up, and somebody was asking about it. Once logged in, clicking their link showed up the main page with a referral code, but only once logged in.
Please verify that referral links are working correctly!

Hi Jairone, welcome to the Fractured community!
When you open the website clicking on a link containing a referral code, the website "eats" it and stores it as a cookie in your computer for later use. Your account correctly reports another user as your Inviter, and you apparently have some Invitees of your own. You can see how many accounts you are an Inviter of so far at the bottom ("You invited X friends who created a Fractured account").
Hope this has cleared things up! :slight_smile:

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure that was what was going on, and not that there was a problem!

@Prometheus Hello Prometheus and thanks for having us #here. While we're on the topic, what's your stance on RMT? Will it be possible to cash out the Fractured dollars acquired through referrals, in the same fashion Ashes of Creation's program plans on allowing, as of today?

Hi @HolyAvengerOne ! :slight_smile: This is something we still have to decide, but it doesn't make sense anyway before Kickstarter, since Kickstarter doesn't allow companies to give out cash rewards through referral systems for pledges. That being said, keep an eye on the news, since we're soon going to release the Fractured Ambassador Program and that's going to be very interesting as well

Thanks for the details, Prometheus. Do you have something from KS that shows that? I'm asking because I put up a complaint with them for TOS violation (under the "revenue sharing" concept and terms) when AoC's KS was running :
And I was told by one of their rep that it was ok (sent in details a few times, never heard back) :
Steven Sharif explicitly said (from http://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/comment/15046/#Comment_15046) :
... as well as (from https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/comments/6digji/pc_gamer_hitpieceerr_i_mean_article/di3gk1h/) :
When I look at what KS stand to lose though (~160k USD : http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1791529601/ashes-of-creation-new-mmorpg-by-intrepid-studios/dz) I guess it kinda make sense to them to be a bit loose on the "terms" and all that. I'm disappointed by KS in all that, kinda not feeling they are in good faith on that one.
I'm glad you guys aren't going to KS.

@HolyAvengerOne we are actually going to run a Kickstarter campaign in the future. It's clearly written in our FAQ and it's been announced to the press as well :slight_smile: Or did you mean "glad you won't do RTM?"
As for the issues Ashes faced, I'd like not to get deeper into the discussion out of respect for a competitor. I just took that info from this article, but it could be wrong of course. It's something we'll discuss ourselves with KS when the time for the campaign comes.
-
@Prometheus Quite frankly I thought I had read somewhere you guys weren't gonna go to KS because of the latest round of private funding you raised but I can't find anywhere that says that, so hmmm, not sure wth hehe.
Either way, glad to hear your referral program is stearing clear of the rmt crap hole, for sure.
As far as KS and AoC is concerned, I understand you can't comment on a competitor. Just so you know, I was referring to that same article you linked, and Steven Sharif said that this article we both mentionned was bullshit and was asking PC Gamer for a retractation (which they haven't published yet).
Anyway, kinda concerning to me for the credibility of KS.

I think I've also read something like that recently about another studio making a MMO, you probably got confused :slight_smile:
