Announcing the Recruit a Friend campaign!

[Yune]

I've been wanting a two-seater mount since I first got into this game. lol

And now its sitting there right in front of me and... I have to recruit a completely new person into the game to get it...? TT_TT

 

I do wonder about it though because in the details it says something about the person being recruited making a Squenix account "if they haven't done so already" or some such. Can this be taken to mean that someone with an existing account can be recruited?

 

I'ma be so jealous when I see you guys running around with your chocobos now. Well, even more jealous, considering I always feel envy when I see the Fat Chocobo waddling around, along with you lalas that have the mini lion or whatever it is. lol

I think it requires a new service account, but can use an existing SE account. (Like if you recruit a FFXI player or something). Our characters are tied to service accounts though, so it's a new account in the sense that you can't get an existing character the mount. :

My finds (not really 'finds', but showing you the process and what happens.)

 

I bought my friend the game itself + 2x 60 day Game Cards (all three were digital.)

 

I went to my Mogstation > Account Services > 'Recruit a Friend' tab where you enter your friend's email, and he recieved this e-mail shortl afterwards:

 

You have successfully entered your recruitment code.

Then, all my friend did was apply both time cards onto his account and we got all our goodies instantly via Mog Mail in-game!

 

Note: It has to be someone who's still playing/on their 30 day free trial and you can apply the generate Friend Serial Code and the 90days worth of game time and you'll get it!

guessing that second copy i got from long ago has a use now

*drools* This looks so good! :moogle:

 

If someone REALLY wants this but can't afford to fork out that much cash, I can probably help you out.

 

Don't worry.... It won't require you to serve time in my love dungeon. Might need some GIL for it though . One of my housemates works at a store that sells the game time cards, and he can get them cheaper with his store discount. Ahh.. the money I've saved doing that...

I guess, but if it comes down to it then I think my male hyur can take one for the team and go the love dungeon route.

I'll be reasonable don't worry . You can PM me if you're interested.

I'm curious - does this include a free trial for the recruited person?

It does not.

[Kage]

I'm pretty sure you can't Free Trial + game time cards either.

[Clover]

Wait wait, so you can recruit someone who already bought the game but didn't actually resub when their 30 days trial expired?

 

Or do you have to buy a brand new game + resub?

 

I need to know! I know people who played the game some months ago but never got to resub, so if I could simply use them without having to buy the game as well, it'd be great (>_<)

AFAIK, so long as there is no paid time into an account, it qualifies for a code. Don't quote me on that, though. I believe the disqualifier is having had paid time entered into the account.

Yep, like Merri said, as long as they haven't paid anything at all during or after their 30 days free trials.

[Clover]

Thank you for the replies! I'm a bit more hopeful now.

Now to figure out how to buy game cards.

[Jijinji]

I wish my friends were even the least bit interested in Final Fantasy or MMORPGs but alas they aren't. Q_Q

 

I'm willing to buy a new license and sub just to do this.

[Phayte]

There was a thread on reddit where I was trying to gather information. It is true if you know someone who's never paid (but could have used all their 30 days), to use their account to register a code you give them. And actually, if they've let their free sub lapse, reactivating it with a 3 month sub should get you the rewards right away.  Instead of game cards, you could get like a prepaid Visa card too possibly.

 

(JUST TO EMPHASIZE THAT YOU SHOULD REGISTER THE CODE BEFORE YOU ACTIVATE THEIR SUB AGAIN).
