As soon as your "friend" buys & activates the game you get your reward, also works on "invite a friend back" if your friend's account lapses for 90+ days.
Thank ya kindly.

So you've got 72 characters on one server? Or did you forget about just buying character slots?

Yep. 72 on Virtue, 51 on Protector and some random lowbies on various other servers. |

Should your friend buy a standard account and pay for one month of subscription to City of Heroes®/City of Villains®, you will be automatically credited with one month of free game time! When your friend activates the trial account to a full retail account by buying a retail box or buying a direct digital download and then pays for their first month of subscription (excluding any periods of play included with the product purchase), you will have one month of free game time credited to your City of Heroes®/City of Villains® account. You will only receive your free game time if your friend converts to a paid subscription within two months of the invitation being sent. |
That said, the OP will still have to spend money for one month of game time for the new account just to get the free month on the main account, so hopefully he plans on actually using the account.
On a side note, you can add the new game account under the same master ncsoft account. It makes everything easier to manage.
I'm thinking about starting another subscription (just don't have enough character slots on 2 accounts :P.) I figure, if I'm going to buy a new copy of the game and start another subscription, why not get a free month out of it, from the Refer a Friend program.
For anyone else that's used the RaF program:
Do you only get the free month if your "friend" buys a full version and uses the free 30 days as part of the RaF rules? Or does your "friend" have to buy the game, wait out the 30 free days then pay for the next 30 days before the Free Month beings for the referrer?
Basically, will it take 60 days before the Free Month is added to my main account?
