Turbine has a referral program going for Lord of the Rings Online. Most games like this do.
But Turbine has a special benefit for those who get referred by founders. Each founder gets 10 referrals that allow the person using them to get the founder’s pricing plan, which is $9.99 a month or $199 for a lifetime subscription.
The last time I mentioned this, somebody wrote and asked for a referral, which I sent them. He actually subscribed, so I have nine left.
How Does This Work?
You have to provide me an email address. I enter the email address in an online form and Turbine sends you a ten day activation key along with instructions.
There are, of course, rules about who can be referred, where they must reside, and other stuff that lawyers write. Please read Da Rules before you ask for a key.
To get a key from me, you can either leave a comment on this post asking or use the form on the About page to drop me a note directly. You must include an email address. If you ask via comment, just put your correct email address in the form where it asks for it, that way only I will see it.
Of course, there are more complications. While I have 9 referrals left, I can only refer 5 people at one. So, should I get more than five responses, there will be a wait while the first few people either subscribe or run out their time.
How Long Will This Offer Last?
It will be “first come, first served,” until I run out of founder referrals.
What Does Wilhelm Get?
Every time somebody subscribes, I get a 30-day time code for LOTRO.
But I have lifetime subscription for LOTRO, so an extra 30 days is sort of “infinity plus thirty!” They do me no good.
So I will come up with some sort of contest to give away any time codes that I end up with.
I am open to contest suggestions as comments as well!
Thanks for offering this. I’d like a referral and will definitely sign up so you get phat lootz. :)

Also if you want to double box, you can also use this to get the founder’s rate for your 2nd account. Our kin leader contacted Turbine support and confirmed this was OK.
I think the 30 days is 30 days you can also give to someone else.
A whole bunch of people in my kin have 2 accounts, they don’t necessary double box they’ll have one wee hobbit back in the shire farming while their warriors are out slaying evil.

I’m up for this…been wanting to try out this game for a while, and I just so happen to have 10 or so days of nothing-much-going-on coming up. And at $10 a month, I may very well subscribe.
thanks very, very much!

Hello,
I’ve been playing the Lord of the Rings Online trial and am planning to activate. I was hoping you still had a founder’s referral left. I’d greatly appreciate it.

Do you still have any founder’s referrals left. I played LOTRO during open beta, but had to quit due to school. I have some time and would love to give it a shot again.
Thanks in advance

As a matter of fact I do. A couple of people ended up not using theirs.
However, when I tried to send you the invite, the Turbine site said your email address had already been invited as a buddy by somebody else.
