"Dreanin referred me!" "!ERROR - User not found" Thus, ClickThisLink

Yeah - more, less?
Probably should be a sliding scale, but then again, if any one player's bringing in 12 paying customers a year, they deserve to play for free...0_o
I keep oscillating between "6 months! Everyone brings in 2 more paying customers, what's wrong with that?" and "Oooh, sounds rife for scamming, people will get hundreds of people to pay, who in turn will get others to upgrade for Them...wait, but that means hundreds of people are paying..." I dunno, it doesn't feel like the math weighs out even when it does.
Just have to make real sure that refunds work retroactively through the system - Rufus upgrades accounts Rufus_1-Rufus_12, then cancels the payment on those 12, he doesn't get to keep his Free Year signing bonus.
