Warhammer Online now lets you recruit friends to join your battles

I haven't written much lately, mostly because of the fact that I've been playing. The videogame onslaught that hit us in the last month sure let us short in free time, and between Warhammer, Fallout 3, Farcry 2 and Midnight Club LA I've been quite swamped by pure, unadultered fun.

Today I received the new Warhammer Online newsletter, that comes with some news that won't sound as a surprise to those of you that read my blog regularly. Mythic is beginning to offer (starting immediately) free Warhammer Online trial accounts, even if not in a widespread way as I would have preferred.

The initiative will take the form of a "Recruit a friend" program. Each subscriber to the game will have a "pool" of three free 7 days account that they can send to a friend. Every month one account will be added to the pool up to a maximum of 6.

When you send one of those accounts to a friend, if he becomes a paying customer after the 7 days, you'll be awarded 30 days of free play. If he doesn't use the account at all, it'll expire after one month, and will be "refunded" to your pool of "recruitement" accounts so that you can reuse it.

The whole system is quite clever, and comes right in time for the holydays. Personally I plan to make full use of it and I bet many others will, so if you have a friend that plays Warhammer Online, now it's the right time to ask him a friend code.

Just a message to the ones that will receive this little gift for Christmas from their friends. Roll Order. We're much cooler that those destro emo kids :P
