The two-month pilot phase of the Recall Program will be over at the end of May, and itGÇÖs time to start looking into how it fared.
Based on the great feedback weGÇÖve received thus far weGÇÖd like to bring it back again later in the year, possibly even making it a permanent fixture in the EVE Universe GÇô but for right now it is on hold while we evaluate.
Look forward to more information on the Recall Program in the coming weeks, but for now we'd like feedback in this thread from those who used the recall program, and how you felt the experience and rewards were.

I liked it. What will happen to the Mackinaw skin now? Will it become available in other ways? |

I haven't used it yet, and if I did it'd run into the hundreds.
I need to know before I start if I'll get in trouble before sending *cough* abusive messages to people I like.
Anyone I try recall willl tend to only recognise a handful of characters, so at the moment limiting us to 3 per account p/m (?) just isn't enough. I'd also want to redistribute any recall rewards across my accounts, and have the ability to send plex as a gift via account management if they slip up and forget to resub in time.
The ability to see previous recall requests would be handy, as would the option to make your invitation visible to others. So we don't mass spam people by accident and we can poke other recallees and say hello. There should always be the option to do it invisibly ofc. TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

For reference, onn June 1st the invites will stop being available, and after that time it will also not be possible to activate the free 7 day period, but for those who activate before June 1st and then subsequently subscribe, the rewards will still be delivered for you guys.

I assume these activations will be lumped in with May rewards, then? i.e. If I had 2 rewards granted and got a third successful recall subscription on June 1st, I get the 3rd tier reward? |

Would be nice if the resub had a little grace period - three to seven days, so that if the returnee does return based on their free seven days you get credit for it despite whatever reason that may prevent them from subbing during the 7 day freebie period. |

If I read this correctly, it means that if someone has a Recall invite sitting in their inbox right now that they haven't yet acted on, then they will not be able to?
I hope not, because that kind of being snubbed doesn't seem like it would help you lure older players back. Rifterlings pirate corporation is now recruitng members for lowsec PvP operations. Newbie friendly, free T1 frigate and dessy hangar, solo tutoring and PvP classes for new members. Join our in game channel 'weflyrifters' and speak to a recruiter today. |

It would had been nice to know characters that used your recall offers, now it was like "oh goodie I have 2x mackinaw paint prints and a plex" and that was that. No way to actually contact anyone using your code for recruitment or pretty much anything but then again no one thanked or contacted me about the offer either even though they knew the character whose code they were using. |

Offering such stupid, petty, lame things that only the most ignorant and asinine players would have any interest in, was an insult.

It just pissed me off. Ship skins to sell for hundreds of millions? A free plex? a unique clothing item that others might buy? Right, because who in the world would want free, valuable unique rewards just for helping encourage someone to come back to EvE?

Well, I used it on my alt to reactivate my main account, and my buddy got the reward for reactivating my alt, so - score. It seems to work. GÇ£SandboxGÇ¥ does not mean that you will succeed at anything you attempt; it means you can attempt anything you want to succeed at. One of the largest obstacles in the way of your success is other players. |

Hello everyone,
I've been searching around the forums but haven't found anything regarding an update on the recall program. I have another account I haven't used in a while and would like to reup but if the recall program is coming out "soonish" then I'd rather wait since that would make the most sense.
Appreciate any answers! |

Shame on me for not checking stickies. I completely missed this thread.
I thought the program was quite good. I think I had three times as many people activate for the 7 days than come back. I don't know what metrics were being used, or targeted, but I thought that was halfway decent.
"I've been thinking of getting back into EVE" or "You're making me want to play again" are pretty common phrases in my stream chat. Beyond that, there have been so many changes happening that it really seems like a good way to get older players to see what the game is like now. We all know of people that have come back after only a year and have to re-learn a great deal of things because of how much has changed.
Anyways, +1 for the program here.

I had a friend resubscribe, but he did not do so immediately and therefore I did not get the reward. I thought that it violated the spirit of the program.
I am severely disappointed that I did not get any rewards, yet I did recruit people to come back into the game. |

This. Despite having dragged several people back to eve kicking and screaming, I got no rewards for it. |

In retrospect, the recall programme was a good idea of CCP, but there were some weak points:
You could only invite people back once, and the invite was only valid for the month you invited them;
Often, the invited people came back the following month, so the person inviting got no rewards at all
(hardly an invitation for a successful outcome...) |

I wanted to take advantage of this program when I returned. I had planned on asking someone to recall me on the forums. However, I couldn't post because my subscription was cancelled. Makes it hard to use the program this way. |

What was the recall program? Was that the one where if you invited back 53 players in a month you got a plex or something? I don't know that many quitters, and the once I do won't come back without something pretty magical.

Something like that, CCP exploring methods to incentivise return of the ancient as part of a trinity marketing model: retention, conversion, return. Kinda important to discover ways to step over from the constant recycling battle that is conversion, and to a high degree retention as well.
Good idea, program needs work - and it needs some creative thinking. |

Hi, i've succesfully recall two old buddys. The recall program was clear an effective, but I think that it could be improve by dividing the presents between the "recaller" and the "recalled", like giving the recalled a limited edition ship or a skin I don't know. |
