What is "Recruit-A-Friend"?

Our new referral system allows you to send friends and family members trial activation keys for World of Warcraft via email. With these keys, those whom you refer will be able to set up their own trial accounts completely free of charge. The trial period for these accounts lasts 10 days. wow account

With this, trial accounts created through your referral will become "linked" with your account. This link will open up a number of benefits for characters on both the veteran and recruit account including increased experience, character summoning, and level gifting!

How do I recruit a friend?

wow account

Log into Account Management and click on the "Recruit-A-Friend" button. This will take you to the actual referral page where you can enter a friend's email address and name one at a time. If you want, you can also enter a message that will be included in the invitation email.

Note: If you wish to recruit a friend or family member, you must possess an active World of Warcraft account. Trial accounts may not recruit additional accounts until fully upgraded.

How soon will I be linked to my recruit's account?

The link between veteran and recruit account will be established as soon as your friend or family member registers his or her Recruit-A-Friend Authentication Key and starts a trial account.

How long will I be linked to my recruit(s)?

The link between the veteran and recruit account will last for 90 days from the date that the recruit account is created.

Remember: For the link to work properly, your recruit must create a new World of Warcraft account using the 10-day trial key in your invitation email. In addition, accounts created or referred prior to 08/05/08 will be ineligible.

Does this promotion only apply to new subscribers? Can I recruit someone using a Scroll of Resurrection?

This promotion is valid only for those accounts referred and created after 08/05/08 and via an Authentication Key sent through a Recruit-a-Friend invitation email. It may not be used to revive an inactive account or be applied to accounts using a Scroll of Resurrection.

When my friend or family member upgrades from a trial account to a full version of the game, will that break the link between the accounts? wow account

Nope! The accounts will remain linked for 90 days regardless of which client your recruit is using.

Note: Your friend or family member will be required to upgrade should he or she wish to continue playing past the 10-day trial period.
