Quoting their Anti-Spam policy:

How our in game recruiting system works

Dark Throne is a browser based massive online role playing game. The
objective of this game it to build up your army, create and manage a city,
and attack other players in-game.

One method of advancing in the game is to recruit your friends and family
by sending them a unique link associated with a players account id. By
getting them to visit the link and/or sign up, the player will gain
additional bonuses which will allow them to progress further in the game.

Before someone begins playing they have to read and agree to our terms of
use, which clearly states that this recruiting system is only for your
friends and family who wish to receive this and spamming of your link in
any way will result in suspension of their account.

Note that any spamming of a unique Dark Throne link is coming from a
registered user of Dark Throne, in violation of our Terms of Use, Rules,
and Anti Spam Policy. It is not coming from the creators and owners of the
game itself and is only intended as a part of the game to share with your
friends and family.

How to report someone who is spamming their Dark Throne Link

Lazarus Software has made it very easy to report someone in violation of
our Rules/Anti-Spam Policy. When you see a Dark Throne recruitment link,
there will be a link that says "report this player for spam violations".
Simply, click on that link and fill out the form and we will handle the
report within 48hrs, during normal business days and hours.

* Note - To have us successfully investigate a spam complaint, you must
have evidence of this player spamming their link, such as a URL where this
was posted, a copy of an email, or additional forms which will be mentioned
on the report page.

What actions are taken against players who have spammed their link

Lazarus Software reviews every complaint on a case by case basis. Depending
on the severity of the spam or if a particular player has been reported in
the past, our actions will range from a temporary suspension to a permanent
banning of their account.

END QUOTE.



However, do not bother trying to click the link to report him. Their
reporting method doesn't work (At least, not for me, it might work for
you). Instead I encourage you to send an email to spam@lazarussoft.com.

Great - a game that 'frowns' on spam, yet thrives on it. As if spam from
people I know is somehow more inviting or acceptable than from strangers
*sigh*...is it going to be worth 3 squeezes of my sphincter as a mmorpg
anyway? Ok, I've signed up. Now what? More menus/options than a MS office
app & not a tutorial is sight :-/

Replace 'spamfree' with the other word for 'maze' to reply via email.

He, he - it's one of them web-based clicky things where you build up troops,
structures, money, levels, etc by attacking each other (whether offline or
online). You also have miners to add to your wealth & spies to...errr...spy.
You get/build up more turns every so many realtime minutes. While you're
offline you can set auto-actions (I think) & store your money in a bank.
Kinda addictive, but I think unless something exciting happens soon it's
dust. You can't even see if someone attacks you directly. It's just ain't
CoH :)

Sounds a little bit like those old door games back in the BBS era like
Tradewars and Baron Realms Elite and stuff like that.

Kinda. It's just a massively multi-level marketing scheme if you ask me ;-)
