It seems like just the other day that the Recruit-a-Friend system launched, but in fact it has been almost two full years since it went live way back in August of 2008. The Recruit-a-Friend system was one of Blizzards more successful ways to help draw more players into World of Warcraft. Now that it has been around for a while though, how has it worked out and how has it affected the game? These are questions that Byron Messiah Mudry looks at in his editorial called Recruit-a-Friend or Paid Alt Speed Leveling a look at Recruit-a-Friend.
The second negative with the RAF currently is that it stops at level 60. BC is essentially ancient content now, and while it is faster than vanilla content, it really should be sped through by new players. The RAF really needs to apply to almost level 70 now, if not level 70, then at least 68. Once Cataclysm is released this should be increased to at least level 75.
