I've been on some online games where if you're away for a fortnight or so, they send an enthusiastic reminder email that sometimes prompts you to log in again. Does CB2 have any such facility? Just asking, coz the only referral I had hasn't logged in since the one time when he joined :)

it reminds them before their account gets deleted for inactivity, yes :)

perhaps they should get reminded after 1 week of inactivity?

perhaps, but some people would call that spam

true, but would 1 single email be considered spam? perhaps then let it be sent after a month?

yep, one week is a long enough time, you couldn't call that spam, you could say, "your character is pining for a fight, etc." something and provide the CB2 link, and they'll want to be back to fight :)
/me is far too tired and misread the subject line "Does CB2 send reminder mail to taunt newbies?" which isn't as bad an idea as you'd think...

yep, taunt them, bug them, whatever, but just in case they think its spam, how about this:
get the mentor to send them the email when they don't log in after one week; that way, the email is sent from the mentor's id, and CB2 cannot be guilty of "spam".

I nominate you guys to come up with a default email for mentors to send out :)

This might be helpful for people who only check it out once in a hurry and forget about it just as quick. Maybe on a second look they'd get hooked.

Add one more informative and motivational para:
Remember, for the first four months only, you have a New User Bonus [NUB] that gives you more than double the rewards others get; so if you play regularly, you will be in a position by the end of four months, to challenge the top-most player in the game, and maybe win. Are you up to this task?
