content creator options "recruiting people into AOC"
Alternatives i am part of a youtube community Group(staff+friends), and Hearing some things that are good. and not so good. g
good being i am SUPER HYPED about ashes and currently saving to get the biggest pack i can
Downside being
i was planning to do try and do this a non shady way. but it seems that might not be possable, at this point but we still have time befor game is released but i would very much like to not have to make people an account for their 1st time pay for it for a month as a gift and then just give the entire account to them.
I was planning to Purchase/sub/Gift/reward. a few people in our group game time so they can play with us, if they can not afford the game time, themselves some people have spare cash and some people don't doing research using paypal and a few other sources that do not involved just giving someone that you don't know in RL money and just hope they use, it correctly on AOC if we really have to but would like to avoid Mailing Gift cards to people but thats still like sending money. also if i pay for another account and they used my AOC link i basically conning ashes I REALLY don't wanna do that but its like a side effect.
this may mean out number dropping from 12 down to a solid 3-5 (this only involves the inner roup) we not even looking into the thousands of subs who might want to try and win
I know how MMORPG's operate most likely rules will come out against Real world trading, selling accounts. or maybe for AOC content creators flagged account and maybe allow them to Gift stuff being ONLY Game TIME Nothing els. most people would not have any issue just giving them their account info and would not even think about it (BAD) if we offered to offer to sub their account for 6 months lol but feel this could become an issues if some kind of option does not come up.

In Archeage it was easy I could buy and give away APEX, however, we know how much that affected the economy.
In Eve PLEX was the same issue, not as much because of that game's economy.
In Steam Games you can give away Steam Cards.
For Ashes, I'm still working out how that is going to happen. I might just have to do larger giveaways since you can't do low dollar amount visa gift cards and then you end up doing the processing fee.
You know when you go to the grocery store and look at the gift card rack? Sometimes there are game cards there. If Ashes becomes popular we'll probably see some Ash cards there.
Another way is you might get lucky. Maybe Ashes will have some kind of promotion when the game starts, like try a month free kind of thing. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, everybody gives away a free month these days. If you get lucky, Ashes might do that too.
There will never be a way in Ashes of Creation to gift anyone either play time, cosmetics or anything else in this game. The amount of third party/side deals this would allow is staggering.
