The Recruit a Friend Program allows players to send invitations to friends, family, and fellow gamers so they can try EVE Online for 21 days at no cost, and receive a reward for their referral should the invited account be fully activated.
Please note that specific Terms and Conditions apply to the Recruit a Friend Program and we urge everyone to read them before using the program. The Terms and Conditions can be found here.
All aspects of the Recruit a Friend Program are available within the "Recruit a Friend" section of the Account Management pages. Invitations can be sent directly to an e-mail address, but a public link to integrate into fan sites or social media is also available for each active account.
A list of past invites is available to check whether an invitation sent to an e-mail has been accepted and used to create an account, and whether the account has been activated yet. For privacy reasons, no information will be available for accounts that have been created through the public invitation link. If an invited account was successfully activated, the inviting account may claim a reward for the invite through the list of past invites. The exact reward may vary depending on the method used to activate the account.
Recruit a Friend Connect
Recruit a Friend Connect enables you to link your inviting character directly to your friend's character once he has been created. You will both appear as contacts in game (under the People and Places menu) and can subsequently start enjoying the game together.
