Greetings,

It looks like there are various questions revolving the Recruit a Friend and Free Trial programs. We compiled a quick list of information that should answer some of these questions.

Recruit a Friend
  • We've seen players asking about the two-person mount we showed off in a previous Letter from the Producer LIVE, and I just want to say, yes, there is still a mount planned for the Eternal Bond system.
  • You can invite any friend that has purchased the game but has not paid for any subscription time. So if you had a friend that played at launch for the free 30 days, but not beyond that, they can still be recruited.
  • As we mentioned in the RaF instructions, you can use game time cards to add game time immediately. Otherwise, you'll need to wait until the free 30 days has lapsed to be able to purchase game time.
  • Unfortunately if a World is full, there will be times when your friend will need to wait until it opens up to new characters to join your World. It happens throughout the day and we do keep an updated list on the Lodestone to help share information.
  • Recruiting a friend is done via your service account and therefore any rewards you earn will be for all characters on the service account.

Free Trial
  • We don't currently have any plans to change any of the restrictions placed on Free Trial accounts as they were created to dissuade RMT spam and other issues. Linkshell chat is not restricted, so please invite them to a linkshell to chat with your Free Trial friends.
  • If you're having trouble registering a Free Trial account, it's most likely that you previously had the full client installed. Please refer to this Knowledge Base article for instructions on removing the other client.

Both of these campaigns do not have an end date and are scheduled to run continuously.

If you have any additional questions, please let us know and we will do our best to answer them!
