Maybe once someone signs up to become a member, next time they come in-game they receive a message saying "Were you recommended by someone and want them to be rewarded? Type /recreward [player name]" or something under the lines of that. recreward = recommend reward.
It just makes more sense to have the message only appear to Members, since they are most likely to stay on the server.

Not sure about the reward, though.

No, that idea is open to abuse.
I can easily imagine smart guests going "Hey, I recommend you, you recommend me? Cash for both of us!"

I think people aren't here recently because of...yes...

Although i see where your coming from and i think its a great idea!

I think you're all over thinking this a little, all that's required is a referral code.

If you've ever bought something off the internet, 9 times out of 10 it'll have an option to enter a referral code at checkout. Entering this code gives yourself and the person you recommended a reward of some sort, 5% off both of your next purchases for example, thus giving both parties an incentive to give out/use a code.

If we translate this into a referral system on opticraft all it requires is a new member to enter an existing members referral code in the registration process. A reward for using a code could be $1000 in-game cash for both parties.

What you just said is the whole point of this system. -.-

I like the idea although I already invited all of my friends who play minecraft.

Then go on other server's. Don't shout "OPTICRAFT #1 SERVER IP: SMP.OPTICRAFT.NET MUST TRY"

Just join a little community, maybe suggest it in local or private chat, just get one or two people.

You don't understand -_-

I'm saying that 2 randomers who have never recommended anyone to the server in their life, can just come along and enter the code, get them each money, for nil effort.
