having been away from the game for a few months, and looking at the website today its the first i seen of the touring rocket, question is, i started a RAF with a friend on 14th april.

So does that mean i'll have to settle for a zevhra after the 2 months has been paid as the rocket is just released? or will i get the rocket and be unable to get the zevhra? because i know which i'd rather have! ^^

Actually as of yesterday evening, you can *only* get the rocket; the Zevhra has moved on to pastures new and is no longer attainable as a mount.
Confirmed. :)

Hey, I recruited a Friend a few months ago, now we got exams in 2 weeks so we don't play alot anymore, he doesn't play at all now.

If the link expires, and my friend adds gametime, do I still get the rewards?
Yep.

I believe you can't change them after you claimed it.

If you didn't claimed it yet , you'll get the Rocket.

But i'm not 100% sure
That's true, 100%.
Q u o t e:
Thank you blizzard for being such a bunch of %$^"%, so for free you can get a two seated mount , when i slaved my butt off to make a choppa bike. whats the point anymore of even working to get a mount that carrys others. talk about taking the enjoyment out of the game.
the chopper can ride in all continents. It cannot fly.

The Rocket can fly in Northrend and Outland, but cannot be 'flown' on Azerothian turf (at least right now).

They're very different.

Q u o t e:


So just to confirm I understand this:

I created RAF with a friend quite some time ago and they never bought any gametime. If they come back this summer and buy some more gametime (despite the fact the link died months ago), will I still be eligble for the relevant rewards?

Q u o t e:
If my recruit cancels the account before purchasing subscription time, can I still earn the 30-day credit or the in-game mount?

If the recruit later comes back, reactivates the account, and purchases subscription time, you will still be eligible for the rewards. Additionally, you can always invite more friends/family members to try World of Warcraft through the Recruit-A-Friend system.

Q u o t e:
Now, I am sorry if I am just beeing slow. But as to my question, I refered a friend ages ago (june 2009) and the link expired september 2009. If I were to convince my friend to pay (or pay for him) and come back, would I be getting the rewards? Or should we just make a fresh account for him if I want the reward (and he never really got any character to high level.)?
It seems the FAQ has changed with this promotion, so it seems you would not be eligible for the mount or game time if either remain unclaimed before the link was broken.

Q u o t e:
aww that sucks:(
I just had this clarified. The paragraph you quoted means that only an account that is (or has been) linked through RAF is eligible, not all accounts are eligible for it regardless. You are still eligible should your friend come back and resub. :) I am sorry for the confusion.

Q u o t e:
oh ok, so since I recruited him back then, and was linked with him for 3 months - I will get the reward! Sweet! Altough, I think I am still a bit confused:D
So am I my little bearded friend, but the Gnomes with the Gnowledge have told me that so long as your friend's account was a full (not trial) account, and that your account was linked to his through Recruit-a-Friend (at some point in the past) then a mount would be granted to you once the original criteria were met. :)
