Thanks for responding Mod Mike! Still a couple of things that aren't clear:

Does the bonus stack? If I recruit 20 friends, and all 20 play, and all 20 play near me on the same world, do I get 10% of all their xp?

Do you think this is something botters might try to do?

Do you see how even if I "recruit" my noob account, and get 1 month membership on my main free, even if they never play at the same time, I've still gotten 1 month's membership on 2 accounts for the price of 1 month's membership on one account? Wouldn't this be a clever way to start a noob account, and wouldn't this be 10 times more likely to be done than actually recruiting a new person?

When you say "face the normal consequences" do you mean "continue to go unpunished as far too many botters still do, and gain a nice juicey xp bonus while they do it?"

Can you see how these botters, if they are not caught, would benefit far more than genuine players?

"No. You will only gain XP if the recruited player gains XP and becomes a member!" -
Since if the recruited player gains XP and becomes a member, you will gain xp, couldn't everyone find random f2pers, pay for 1 month of membership for them, get the month of membership back free on their main account, and get all the bonus xp from all the random f2per's they "recruited"? Couldn't they get dozens of people this way? Thousands if they were prepared to pay for this (unfair) advantage? All giving the main account bonus xp? And if so, are you using Jagex Logic and saying "No." when you mean "Yes, it is another way to indirectly buy XP"?

EDIT: P.S. Thank you for finding out that the bonus lasts forever if both accounts remain members. Pending your answer to the question on stacking, it seems that over the coming years, people could potentially be gaining 10% of the xp of hundreds of people they have recruited. Do you think this makes the game fair, someone getting 10% of the xp of hundreds of other players, while other players have to work for their xp?

You should atleast limit the duration of the bonus xp ...

what is the bonus when on same world and location?
What counts as being in same location? (same as avatar 6% bonus instead of 3%?)

This could be abused by a group to make someone get enormous xp gains ...

Also.. I can already see people multilogging for the bonus

That's not possible since you need a new account, dont you? (with the refer link)
and if this were to be possible, that's not a bad thing for jagex.. this will lead to more people buying membership (that basicly had a 1 month trial)

its definitely a cool idea to bring new players. Plus everybody knows this game is more fun to play with friends than by yourself.

I just hate how you keep devaluing everybodys xp with all this free xp handouts :(

2012 has totally ruined the game for all veteran players. You have given out so much free xp this year its ridiculous.

But i already know your plan to raise all skills to 120 and make our 13m xp completely useless and high end content to be at 104m xp. You will be giving out millions and millions of free xp every month :( all our hard work down the drain.

theres a reason everybody is quitting jagex.

The bonus experience itself is an unfair advantage, forget any other way that it will most dfinatley be abused. All it does is give someone exra experience for nothing. I understand its a promotion but it doesnt change the fact that it devalues the experience you earn in game fairly.

Also Mod Mike,

Is there still a limitation to amount of referrees?
Refer-a-friend was max 5 per year. With a week worth of 10% bonus xp for each

Now it seems unlimited and an infinite bonus of 10% for whatever the recruit does*
*****; way more free unearned xp that devalues achievements even more

Also, the 10% only applies when you are both online? Are if you logon and your friend *id 100k xp will you receive 10k xp upon logging in? ...
