Thread: Trouble with Referal Program

Hi,
I'm having trouble with the referral program. I've referred over 10 people to the game and only 4 have been able to get the link, the mail and download the program. So I'm not able to get credit for their turbine point purchase or for my horse. Is there some way that they can 'vouch' for me that I referred them, so I can get my horse at least??
Thanks for any help (and perhaps another link I can send them to use to refer them rather than the mail.)

Replace Crell_1 with your community facing name. (NOTE: This link is for your friends who do not have accounts yet, not for players to use if they're already signed into my lotro, it is only for making newly referred accounts..)

They do not have to download the program to get you credit toward your mount, just make their account.

Obviously they have to buy turbine points to get you credit for those.

You cannot get retroactive credit for any account or link any existing accounts to your referral tree.

hmm ok.. thank you for the link.. I just wish the one I used before had worked. I would have had the horse several times over. =/ And yes, I knew they were for brand new accounts.

The link on the referal email really needs to be larger and more obvious. Or there should be a spot on the signin that gives the option for someone to give a person that referred them.. that would be even better. Many of the people I refered just went to the lotro web site and downloaded at the website from that page. Apparently they saw the lotro website link before they saw the 'sign up here' link for the referral =(

Thank you again for the reply.
