Anyone here still interested in this?
They have a referral program with rewards for the "new" player and some lesser rewards for me as the referring player. (Very lesser: a port slot and some junk)
I have seen these things posted before in the "Star Citizen" thread so I guess it is ok.
Basically, you can be a new player opening a brand new account or an old player who hasn't logged into WoWs in the past three months or longer.
Here are some details from the site:
Help beginners get off to a good start
Your friends are entitled to bonuses, too.
Recruits aren't necessarily brand-new players -- they can be friends who haven't played in three months, or players who only progressed up to Service Record level 3.
Each newcomer registered through your referral link gets these gifts for making their first steps in the game easier and more enjoyable:
DIANA (TIER II)
Rewarded for playing one battle
TEXAS (TIER V)
Rewarded for the first battle in a tier VI ship
More on Rewards
(The two) ships come with a free Port slot and a Commander with three Skills.
USS Texas comes with these additional rewards:
Port slot
3,000,000 Credits
80,000 Free XP
25 of every type of Signal Flag
In order to receive rewards like Signal Flags, you'll need to be Service Record level 8. To receive Free XP, then you must be Service Record level 5.

Diana is nothing special (a collector ship). Texas is a "New York" class BB with extra AntiAircraft ability.
I wouldn't suggest grinding USN Battleships if you are new as you'd largely be getting a ship you already have in the Texas. German Cruisers can be fun, but tier II and III in particular are annoying to play because of bad shell arcs.
Here is the link you have to follow when starting a new account under this program or logging in to an old account that hasn't been active for at least three months. Notice the other requirements you need to meet to get the Texas and other goodies.

It's case sensitive - note the capital KD at the end. Don't forget to Accept the referral.
Edit: This code is for the NA server only.
From a forum post:
Make sure he accepted the referral. It happened to a friend of mine that he followed the link, created an account, and started playing. He didn't get the Diana. He followed the link again and used the log in option. That time he got a popup to accept the referral.

OK, go get a Texas. Might take a while.
