Dear Warcraft Diary (Part Five)

Hooooooolyyyyyyyyy Crap. I’ve sent out invites to some friends. Let’s look at this objectively:

For each person you refer who upgrades to a retail version of World of Warcraft and purchases two months of game time, you will be able to give a character on the account you sent the invitation from an exclusive in-game zhevra mount. This unique mount can be claimed through the website, is only available to Recruit-A-Friend participants, and can only be applied to a single character.

1. Characters on both accounts can summon each other once per hour.
2. While adventuring with your linked friend/family member, you will each gain triple experience.
3. For every two levels the new player earns, the new player can grant one free level-up to a lower-level character played by the veteran player.

Is quest experience tripled too?

Yes, but only if the quest was not trivial (gray difficulty) for either character.

For each person you refer who upgrades to a retail version of World of Warcraft and purchases his or her first month of game time, the account you sent the invitation from will receive a free credit of 30 days of play time.

Hooooooolyyyyyyyyy Crap. I will be writing more about how this goes as things progress. But WoW at triple speed, PLUS extra character levelling, PLUS it’s only about 2/3s the normal price of playing (thanks to 30-day credits). That’s a video game right there. That’s how they get from 10 million to 20 million.

UPDATE: Jess has agreed to play with me, at least through the trial. Can you guys IMAGINE.
