@Site_Users,

We have now released the second major part of the Referral System.

What's been added:

-You can now see who referred you under Personal Information on the Account Settings page.
-Every user now has a Referral ID instead of their User ID. This is a random alphanumerical string of 20 characters. You can find your Referral ID under Personal Information on the Account Settings page.
-There is now a link to "Referral Tools" under the Referral Level Bar on the Account Settings page. This page is used to view all of the tools available to help you refer new players to Sylestia.
-You can now Invite Friends to play Sylestia by simply entering their Email Address via the Invite a Friend Tool. If the person registers an account via the link from the Email, you will receive Referral credit.
-You can now create custom Referral Links to use on other websites, blogs, etc in order to receive new referrals.
-We are no longer pursuing the IP Address limit for Referrals. While we will be monitoring Referrals for those breaking rules, there will be no in-game restrictions.

In addition to the above, we are still taking a look at the messaging aspect of the Referral System. Also, we are planning to make some banners available to be used as image links. Lastly, we are looking into creating a system that allows users to create small buttons with their pet's images and some text as Referral Links.

And lastly, for those who failed to submit their referrer's ID when registering or for those who incorrectly submitted the number, please send me a PM and I will correct it. This is a limited offer and you cannot change your Referrer more than once.

Please let us know if anyone has any questions or comments.

Nevermind!

Why do we have referral id numbers? Was there an issue with using our regular id numbers before?

@Huskybui,

A few reason, but namely some were typo'ing the numbers and becoming referrals of other users. So then to correct the issue, I have to remove a referral from someone and add it to someone else.

Since the new ID's are very unique, there is a very slim chance of this ever happening. A typo'd ID will just end up not being a referral to anyone and save this situation from happening.
