Friend Invites

Earn free WWO-Influence daily by inviting friends to World War Online. The more active and engaged your invited friends become, the more you earn.

How Friend Invites Work

The Friend Invite system rewards you for bringing new or returning players to the game:

  1. Generate your unique invite link from the Store's Friends section
  2. Share your link with friends via Facebook, Discord, or direct messaging
  3. Your friend creates an account using your invite link
  4. You earn daily WWO based on your friend's activity and progression

Daily Rewards by Tier

Your invited friends are automatically assigned to tiers based on their activity and progression. Higher tiers earn you more daily WWO:

Tier Requirements Daily WWO Earned
Tier 1 Active in last 24 hours 1 WWO
Tier 2 Tier 1 + Rank 20 or higher 2 WWO
Tier 3 Tier 2 + In a Squad 3 WWO
Tier 4 Tier 2 + Rank 30 or higher 4 WWO
Tier 5 Tier 2 + Rank 40 or higher 5 WWO

How Tiers Work

  • Tiers are cumulative - your friend must meet all lower tier requirements
  • Tier updates automatically based on your friend's current status
  • If a friend becomes inactive for 24+ hours, they drop to Tier 0 (no daily WWO until they return)
  • When they return and play again, they automatically restore to their appropriate tier

Example: A Rank 35 player in a squad who was active today qualifies for Tier 4 (4 WWO/day) because they meet: active (Tier 1) + Rank 20+ (Tier 2) + Rank 30+ (Tier 4). Being in a squad doesn't increase their tier further since Tier 4 is higher than Tier 3.

Managing Your Friend Slots

You can have up to 5 active friends earning you WWO simultaneously:

Friend States

  • Active: Currently earning you daily WWO (maximum 5 slots)
  • New: Recently joined friends waiting to be activated
  • Archived: Previously active friends you've archived to make room for others

Activating Friends

When you have 5 active friends and want to add a new one:

  1. Archive one of your current active friends to open a slot
  2. Activate the new friend from your "New" list
  3. The newly activated friend starts earning you daily WWO

You can reactivate archived friends anytime by archiving a current active friend first.

Collecting Your Rewards

Collection Rules

  • Cooldown: You can collect once per 24-hour UTC cycle per friend
  • Balance Requirement: You can only collect when your WWO balance is under 100 WWO (Store-wide free WWO rule)
  • Manual Collection: Rewards don't auto-collect - visit the Store's Friends section daily

How to Collect

  1. Navigate to Store > Friends
  2. Find friends with available rewards (indicated by a collect button)
  3. Click Collect to receive their tier's daily WWO
  4. Rewards are added immediately to your WWO-Influence balance

WWO Balance Requirement

The Store enforces a global rule for all free WWO sources (Supply Crates, Friend Invites, etc.):

You can only collect free WWO rewards when your current WWO balance is below 100 WWO.

This prevents players from hoarding large amounts of free premium currency. The system checks your balance before allowing collection:

  • Balance < 100 WWO: ✓ You can collect friend rewards
  • Balance ≥ 100 WWO: ✗ Collection blocked until you spend some WWO

Example: If you have 95 WWO and try to collect 5 WWO from a Tier 5 friend, the collection succeeds. If you already have 100 WWO or more, you must spend some before collecting again.

This rule applies to the inviter only - your friends can have any amount of WWO without affecting your ability to earn from them.

Eligibility Requirements

For You (The Inviter)

  • Must have a World War Online account
  • Access to the Store's Friends section

For Your Friends (The Invitees)

To create a valid invite relationship, your friend must:

  • Be a new player OR inactive for 30+ days before using your invite link
  • Match your country - they must be from the same country as you
  • Valid IP location - their IP must match their profile country
  • Unique household - cannot share the same IP address with you

These requirements prevent system abuse and ensure fair use of the invite program.

Anti-Abuse Protection

The Friend Invite system includes several safeguards:

Validation Checks

Every invite is validated for:

  • 30-day inactivity: Prevents inviting existing active players
  • Country matching: Inviter and invitee must be from the same country
  • IP verification: Profile country must match actual connection location
  • Shared IP detection: Prevents self-inviting or household farming
  • Balance requirement: Inviter must have less than 100 WWO to collect (Store rule)
  • Cooldown enforcement: 24-hour collection intervals per friend

What Happens If Validation Fails

If your friend doesn't meet eligibility requirements:

  • The invite relationship won't be created when they sign up
  • You won't be able to collect rewards from that friend
  • Both you and your friend can still play normally

This is not a penalty - it simply means the invite didn't qualify under the program rules.

  1. Open the Store
  2. Navigate to the Friends section
  3. Copy your unique invite link

Your link format: worldwaronline.com/i/YourCodename?utm_source=origin

Best Practices for Sharing

  • Facebook: Use the quick-share button for one-click posting
  • Discord: Use the quick-share button to post in your server
  • Direct messaging: Copy and send your link to specific friends
  • Social media: Share on Twitter, Instagram, or other platforms

Tracking Your Invites

Your invite link includes tracking parameters so you can see where your successful invites come from:

  • utm_source=facebook - Shared via Facebook button
  • utm_source=discord - Shared via Discord button
  • utm_source=direct - Manually copied link

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I invite someone from a different country?

No. Both you and your invited friend must be from the same country for the invite to be valid. This is an anti-abuse measure.

What if my friend stops playing?

If your friend becomes inactive for 24+ hours, they drop to Tier 0 and stop generating daily rewards. When they return and become active again, they automatically restore to their appropriate tier based on their rank and squad status.

Can I remove a friend and add them back later?

Yes. You can archive active friends and reactivate them later. There's no lifetime limit on how much you can earn from a single friend, but you can only collect when your WWO balance is below 100.

What counts as "active in last 24 hours"?

A player is considered active if they've logged into World War Online within the past 24 hours.

Can I have more than 5 friends total?

Yes, but only 5 can be active (earning you WWO) at once. Additional friends will be in your "New" list until you activate them.

Do I need to be online when my friend signs up?

No. The invite relationship is created automatically when your friend signs up using your link, regardless of whether you're online.

What happens if I have 100 or more WWO?

You won't be able to collect friend rewards until you spend some WWO to bring your balance below 100. This is a Store-wide rule that applies to all free WWO sources (Supply Crates, Friend Invites, etc.) to prevent hoarding premium currency. Your friends will continue to qualify for their tiers - you just can't collect until your balance drops below 100.
