<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/rift"><em>RIFT</em></a> founders, check your emails. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/trion">Trion Worlds</a> has sent out a new offer tied to its <a href="https://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ascend-a-friend">Ascend-a-Friend</a> promotion. The program is geared toward early (and multi-month) adopters and their <em>RIFT</em>-less buddies, and aims to bring people together in the world of Telara for hours of adventure and progression.<br />
<br />
The founder email features a code that grants your friend a free copy of the game client, and as long as your pal signs up under the Ascend-a-Friend program, he'll count towards your reward total. If you manage to convert three friends, you'll receive an Ember Steed which matches the speed of your fastest mount, and probably looks a lot nicer to boot.<br />
<br />
Your friend isn't left out in the cold, of course. In addition to a free copy of <em>RIFT</em>, Ascend-a-Friend participants will get a unique in-game title ("The Chosen") as well as the ability to summon (or be summoned) to their referring buddy once every half hour.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/22/rift-founders-receive-free-game-client-for-friends/">RIFT founders receive free game client for friends</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:00:00 EST.

When Christmas comes and you want to find the very best present, let your friends and family go to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/warhammer-online"><em>WAR</em></a> with you! <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a> has just thrown open the gates to its own <a href="http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=543">recruit-a-friend program</a>, letting <a href="https://accounts.eamythic.com/">current subscribers</a> send out free 14 day trials to anyone they wish. The only catch to the program is that you get a limited number of invites. Initially you get three for being a subscriber and then you receive one new invite each month to a maximum of six.<br /><br />If your buddy converts his trial account to a full account by buying the game, then you get the standard 30 days free. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/mythic/">Mythic</a>'s notice has already promised more rewards for recruiting in the future though, so it seems the program will expand beyond the scope of free game time. Although, honestly, none of us are arguing against free game time. It's the gift that keeps on giving, until someone <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/aureusknights/videos/5/">steals your keep</a>. <br /><strong><br />Note:</strong> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/20/warhammer-online-launches-recruit-a-friend-offer/">This may sound familiar</a>.

Anyone with a paid SOE subscription for <em>PotBS</em> will be able to claim three keys to give away, with no expiration. You don't need to go and claim them now either, as they will be available indefinitely.<br /><br />To get your keys, you'll need to <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/page/login">log in to the official site</a>, and then visit the <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/pages/buddyKeys">Buddy Keys page</a> to retrieve the codes. After that, you can give the keys to friends, and then point them to the <a href="http://www.piratesoftheburningsea.com/install/">game client installer page</a> where they can download their copy of the game.
