The idea is to bring new customers to Graal, not to have the existing one going from on affiliate to the other.

Eh, that's going to be difficult for a pw manager to do though. How are playerworld managers supposed to get people to buy new accounts from their affiliate link?
It also doesn't really make much sense when you think about it. People that have never played Graal before, and decide to sign up, are going to sign up either way. So it's not really even profitable for pw managers unless they go out and advertise Graal (graal, not their playerworld). People that UPGRADE to continue playing on a certain world, would seem more obtainable than people that are creating new accounts, to play Graal alltogether.
Whose to say the affiliate is going to even play on the server they are affiliated to? I just think it would be better if the pw managers were able to profit based on their own "customers".
Basically the way it breaks down is:
1) totally unknown person gets introduced to Graal via a pw manager
2) totally unknown person creates a new account and upgrades it through that pw manager's affiliate link
3) totally unknown person plays the pw manager's server for 10 minutes, and decides they don't really like it
4) totally unknown person goes off to play other pw's
5) pw manager is out one frequent player
