I feel bad for anyone attempting Recruit-a-Friend on a new server where you don't know anyone.

If you decide to participate in the Recruit-a-Friend program, be sure you have a high level alt with loads of cash, or a good friend who can supply you and your buddy with money. Unless the quest you're completing happens to have decent class gear as a reward, you're going to be fighting with outclassed weapons and armor.ДЄnother, related, problem is money. That means a much smaller chance to get a decent gear drop. Leveling up so quickly means you aren't looting as many mobs. We realized this because it took forever to kill a mob. At the beginning of the game we were leveling so fast that, at some point in the teens, we realized we were still using our level 1 maces. Of course, the accelerated rate of leveling comes with it's own unique set of challenges. It's incredible to watch your XP jump up by a tenth of total required XP when you're in your thirties. While we did notice that individual kills weren't giving us the same chunk of XP as they did in earlier levels, the quests turn-ins still chalked up enormous XP gains. Perhaps not surprisingly, the dreaded slowdown we anticipated never materialized. Normally in your twenties or thirties you really start to feel the grind especially if you've played through the content before and now you're leveling up just to reach the end game. Remember when hitting 60 felt like it meant something?ДЄs Rob and I played we kept waiting for the inevitable XP slowdown. Still, watching a level 14 paladin run by us and knowing we were out pacing him so drastically, it made me wonder if the Recruit-a-Friend program had somehow cheapened the accomplishment of hitting 60. Sure the XP flew by, but Rob had paid for the game and the expansion all over again, as well as paying for a second account.

In a way it was like paying for a power leveling service where you do all the work. In fact, it almost felt like we were cheating. I know that's not a record by any means, but for us it felt pretty amazing. Our new goal was to level a couple of spacegoat shammies.ДЄfter about 12 hours of /played time we were level 26. A seed that slowly germinated, wrapping its diminutive roots around his cerebral cortex until every thought in his head screamed, 'MUST HAVE TRIPLE XP.' And so, after a very small amount of convincing, I joined him to level up yet another alt. When Blizzard announced their Recruit-a-Friend program a tiny seed was planted in the back of his mind. After spending so much time leveling so many characters he recently resolved not to level another character until the release of Wrath of the Lich King. He's played every class in the game most of them thoroughly. He's also an alt-a-holic and has tons of mid-level characters. He's got a few 70s on a PvP server and a few 70s on the PvE server where we're spending most of our time. My buddy Rob and I play World of Warcraft frequently, but between the two of us he's got the most /played time.

By any means necessary wow
