I apologize if this is a stupid question; how do i invite a friend?

I got into the beta a few weeks ago, but I haven't downloaded the game yet. It was hard finding time to play, but I plan on playing this week.

My question is I read that I can invite a friend? Forgive me if it's easy to find or if it's apart of the game client. I am downloading it now.

Basically, I want to invite my friend (brother) to play with me. Can I do this and if so, how?

Thanks!

Also, how many invites do I get? I'd like to invite my cousin as well, but if I only get one, that's cool.

Thanks again.

You only get one friend key I think.
You should get your friend key by email soon after you get your key.

This is what I've heard anyways.

Is it from the same email? I just checked my email again, and I don't see it. I have two emails from Path of Exile. One is confirming that my account was created, and the other is telling me that I was accepted into the beta.

No, it would be in a different email.

I checked my email and I didn't see anything. I checked my spam folder as well.

Who would I contact about getting a friend key? Maybe it got deleted in my spam folder or something. Can I get another one?

I think you'll just have to wait a while.
I think it's a while longer till you get your friend key.

Alright, thanks!

No problem

friend keys are sent randomly as well, not sure on the time frame but upto 14 days.

14 days? Hope you are right. Up to day 12 now, the person who I promised my key to is quite bored :P
