Hi guys,
We have an update for you on the status of this issue, and I am happy to confirm that players who have been affected by this problem over the past week will have any levels which they had accumulated before patch 3.0.2 reimbursed after our scheduled maintenance on Wednesday morning.
Once again, we do appreciate that this problem was through no fault of your own, and we do apologise for any inconvenience caused to you all. I would also like to commend you for the controlled and constructive manner you have conducted yourselves in this thread, and let you all know that your feedback was most appreciated.
Happy leveling!

With the WoW 3.0 patch all grant levels earned but not used before the patch could not be granted anymore.
There is an update on this on the EU-forums with the info that this will be remedied after the weekly maintainance.
YAY! =]

Sweet! I did the math, and I have a level 6 rogue with ~4 xp from 7 ready to level up to 60.999 (discover hellfire, and ding! lol)

Sadly, I haven't been doing my dailies and won't be able to buy him skills + mount + gear. Well, he is a rogue, so maybe just need to buy the skills + mount, lol.

/crosses fingers

yay! finally... i can "level" up my pally. =P

I am happy they resolved this quickly. I was very afraid to even touch my RAF accounts till they fixed this. Now its time to run from inn keeper to inn keeper handing out candy and getting 13.5k a turn in!

how many inn keepers are in WoW?

if you look under your acheivements under world events, hallow's end, you'll see them.

Keep in mind, this is for EU players. On the US forums, they are locking any thread that crosslinks to the EU forums, since nothing has been announced for the US yet.

Although you CAN take from this that you will NOT lose your levels (if they are retrievable for EU players, likely they are also retrievable for US players). But to say it's happening next maintenance is jumping the gun for us US realm folks.

I'm sure they will at least attempt to implement in on the US realms.

Blizzard does not work like the real US. The US ignores other peoples fixes and tries to find it's own.

Blizzard however, if they find a fix for the EU, the US would not be far behind, if not behind at all.

If you have the fix, why not implement it.

Right. I was just saying that all the US players going "*SQUEEEE!* Patchday fix!" might be disappointed.

I have no doubt that it will be fixed, since the fact that EU players are getting it fixed on patchday means it IS fixable. It's just the timing for US realms that hasn't been confirmed.

seems like EU is getting to beta text the fix :P

My biggest concern at this point isn't the level reimbursement, but the server stability. I've lost many more levels to general server lag and irritability than broken RAF.

Le sigh.

I hear ya. Last night was lag fest and instead of getting my warlocks to the 30s they are still level 9. Waaaay off schedule.

We are aware that players have been experiencing issues as of late gifting levels to friends under the refer-a-friend program. To update players, this should be addressed with tomorrow morning’s maintenance. All gifted levels that have not yet been received should automatically apply tomorrow.

I'll be keen to see how it goes for our Euro-brothers.

My entire final PVE only team, is stuck at 31.9999999 awaiting the chance to isnta-ding to 60.9999999.

What is also soon to become a problem is the lack of account-to-account character transfers, but hopefully the fix for that isn't long off either.

Aha. Looks like the US-CMs were only late to announce that the fix goes in with this week's maintainance.
So it is going to be the US doing the beta testing for the EU again, as usual with the US patchday being Tuesday and EU patchday being Wednesday. =]

This is really tripping me up right now - I've progressed 4 of 5 of my team to 64 and my 5th is still 61 because I can't transfer him. I should have done it before the patch, didn't even think it would be an issue. I was able to get the transfer request in 2 days ago at 4am, but since then no emails and I can't get the transfer transactions page to load.

Well it is supposed to be fixed but there are some reports of it still not working. I am still at work. Has anyone here had a chance to try it out at all?

Transfers are back on too, for now.

Confirmed fixed.

Just tested on US realm.

Woohoo. :D I've been waiting to be able to gift my level 60 char's levels and then transfer her back onto my main account. Fun times.

hallelujah!!

Ahahahaha! Aww :-(

Summon Friend FTL!!

Let me explain: ~.001% exp away from level. Summon friend to where other toons are able to grant levels. Toon discovers new zone! (toon levels without you realizing it) You continue to grant 29 more levels. You are now sad :-(

I guess I'll have a toon at level 60.02 now :-/ If you summon a friend is on C/D, WAIT! Trust me.

/target Goodness
/thank

why dont you just do it the other way??
-______-

not rocket science.

Granting from multiple characters to 1. Cooldown for summon is 1 hour, each toon gets it's own summon cooldown. I can't summon 3 different toons to my 1 right away, but I can summon the grantee. That's not rocket science, but this is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Im...V_vehicles.jpg --(anyone else notice it says RV_vehicles? reentry vehicles vehicles? Lol)

well in that case, that's a little different. but i find it very easy to take my level 60+ characters to the city where my lowbie is... very easy. im sure there's other ways around it too. hearth to the same city? undercity and smv is basically linked, like SW and IF. you can also plan it out where another alt on the first account summons the second alt on the referred account to the city you want to get to. no, not rocket science at all. but a bit of a hassle. in any case, running a few guys to the same city is not as hard as say... leveling something to 60.

btw, nice picture. yes... vehicle vehicles. lol

I was able to "Grant a Level" to my mage today.
She went from 35.96 to 60.96.

Wow, not many people know how to spell that lol.

But good news for all

*rejoices*

Tested this last night as well. Granted a level 1.99 warrior to level 60.99 in about 15 seconds or less. Wish I would have frapsed it. I made a macro on 2 of my warlocks to grant level to my warrior, then made 2 macros on my warrior to each click StaticPopup1Button1 and then bound them to the same key as my warlock grants... then I created a separate macro to say "OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!?"

Then, I stood right in front of the org bank, and spammed my first grant level/accept level macro, periodically pushing the macro for the say, then at 30 I spammed the second macro along with periodically pushing the say macro. Had a HUGE group form around me like "OMG WTF IS GOING ON!?" "HAX!" "CHEATER!" "HOLY SHIT!" etc.

Was awesome, even if it only lasted 15 seconds or so. Then I took a few minutes to explain RAF to everyone lol. It was like story telling time.

What's the command to grant a level? I was planning a similar event in IF.

I just made my grant macro and Click macro do

GRANT MACRO HERE
/s grats
/g grats

CLICK STATIC MACRO HERE
/s ding
/s ding

You get an extra gratz at the beginning and hit it an extra time at the end. All on one button.

But yes works for me! Now I need transfers fixed so I can move a couple of guys and finish everything off.

target the receiving character with the donating one, right click and select grant level.

Fixed as of yesterday's maintenance. (Oct 21)

They fixed it on the US realm as well as the EU realms, as it worked fine for me. I know there was some question as to when they were going to implement the fix they found on the EU servers in the US servers, but I guess they just used the same solution. After the patch I was only able to grant 4 levels (level 59lock granting to my brother's account) and yesterday I was able to grant the rest of the levels and jumped his shammy from level 40 to 58.

EDIT: whoops, didn't see the second page of posts confirming the fix, my bad :P

i attempted to search RAF to find more info on it but it kept tellin me there were no results...

anyways, how does RAF work? and how is it some of you are standing and just lvling? doesnt make sense...
