Blizzard Beefs up World of Warcraft's Recruit-a-Friend

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the you-can-quit-anytime-honest dept.

It appears that Blizzard has beefed up their World of Warcraft recruit-a-friend program rather substantially. There have been rumors that this was coming for a while now, but the details are still a little surprising. Benefits include triple experience, being able to summon your friend from anywhere in the world, free levels, free gametime, and even a free mount if your friend signs up for a two-month subscription. All of these are subject to several quid pro quos, but it looks like Blizzard is really trying to ramp up their player base for the expansion.

    Awesome! Time to fire up MMOGlider again and bot me some well equipped characters even faster!

    I hear the players are planning a recruit a server program. If blizzard buys more servers then as a reward, players will actually log in during peak hours and keep playing. I think that one would be a lot more successful.
