Refer A Friend

ไฟล์:PVP.net Refer a Friend.jpg
The **Refer A Friend** program is the reward system Riot Games created to motivate players to recruit friends to the game. On 25 April 2012, Refer A Friend 2.0 was released.

Referrals can be accumulated by sending out an email using the form on the referrals page, or with your account's personalized referral link. Referrals will be accepted from both EU and US; it does not matter which server they sign up with.

This system was active until 5 September 2015.

## Current Version

### Version 3.0

	+ At least seven people have unlocked this before the referral policy was altered by Riot:
		- Ohmwrecker - The Masked Gamer, a Youtuber, with the Ohmwrecker Ohmwrecker, and song of the same title.
		- Grez, who initially had a now removed monster named after him, was then honored with Grez's Spectral Lantern Grez's Spectral Lantern.
