Recruit a Friend boost plans

[Purpleflavor]

A couple of observations in hindsight regarding the new RAF program including some possible conflicting information:

1. Note that the only benefits on the Classic WoW side are free subscriptions as all XP boosts and virtual items are awarded on the Retail WoW side; You may already have known that but I wanted to restate that just to be clear...
2. As can be seen in this picture from the WoW Retail side, it indicates that after the initial 12 months of rewards I get 1 free month for every 3 month of RAFed subscriptions going forward. It mentions no restrictions nor limits and looks really nice in perpetuity.
3. As can be seen in this picture from the WoW Retail side, it says that each recruited friend can ONLY provide up to 12 subscription months toward my rewards. I do NOT remember seeing this restriction previously and seems to me to now indicate that I can only get 4 months free per RAF (over the course of this first year only). This seems to then be saying that after the first year I can still receive free months (per the first screenshot) but ONLY after I recruit more new accounts...

I think someone mentioned this in another thread but it looks like there will be a conflict on this in the future as it looks like Blizz may already be changing the terms on this new RAF program. That or maybe it was this way all the time but just not communicated properly (or maybe I missed something) but regardless I think many people are going to feel mislead at least and there is likely to be fallout/backlash...

Yep, that looks to be the case, since they built a counter 0/12 it's almost a guarantee that when it hits 12/12 it will not gift any more recruit time. It seems very important how you link accounts to get the most of what you want. I'm linked with all 4 recruits from my main account, so i will get the 4 free and then 36 months beyond the 12th reward, equaling 12 more months free on my main account. Maybe in a year, when hitting (12/12), they will offer a whole new set of rewards and it would be worth to drop the old and start another 4 if they keep the 70% faster leveling thing.
