Galahad Sir

"Does the bonus ever end? There doesn't seem to be an end to the bonus.

Does it stack? If I recruit 20 people do I get 2000% more xp?

Does anyone at Jagex really think anyone will actually recruit a new person, when it seems like all this is good for is buying one month's membership on a noob account, and getting one month free on our mains, plus the bonus xp?

Isn't this just refer-a-bot all over again, benefits the people with the most accounts (serious botters) but doesn't really add any new *people* to Runescape?

Isn't this just another way of buying bonus xp, no matter how indirectly? (As if indirectness matters at all).

I look forward to your answers :) "

Update: Nope! As long as you both remain members, you'll continue to receive the XP bonus.

No, you'll get 10% of the XP gained by each player you recruit.

Well you'd have to actually play on the second account for your main account to benefit at all - which doesn't make sense as you'd effectively just be training for 10% of the normal XP!

Well, if people choose to bot they'll face the normal consequences of having that account banned! :)

No. You will only gain XP if the recruited player gains XP and becomes a member!

This rework gave me cancer. As if refer-a-bot wasn't bad enough :(

We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.' [/red]

So, basically, everytime I want to extend my membership, I should instead refer myself and get the same amount of membership, but also get an xp bonus? Is there even a reason to pay membership for an old account anymore?

You only only recruit the same account once so you'd have to keep making new accounts which doesn't really make much sense!

You know js people can just make new accounts refer them and still have a membership and an xp bonus for their mains******;_> I doubt Jagex didn't realize this. Trying to still be most popular web game I see...well or this is just some more "Jagex Logic!"

Theoretically spoken, if a friend of mine wants to become a skiller, and just logs on the same world as me while im getting huge amounts of XP (Ex. crafting blue D'hide bodies to 90) Would he get 10% of that xp and hit level 60 with a breeze? Wouldn't that devalue the game for newer players by levelling so fast.
