I've been looking for a thread like this... I recently reconnected with a friend and invited him to play only to find out that he used to play, but he got tired of it, but I pestered him and now he's seriously considering rejoining because I'll be here with him... However, I beg the question is all my hard work worthless to get the referral incentives because he already played at one point? I don't have many friends either and even less that would be able to be convinced to play this game with me I mean my friend played for a couple months at launch of ARR, but stopped, if there could be a 6 month or more gap between last subscription renewal and new subscription renewal I think it would be worth considering that someone was re-recruited to the game, yes?
