Recruit a Friend PARTIALLY working

#0 - April 23, 2009, 9:46 p.m.

I recently created a new account (a friend called me through the Recruit a Friend) and I imediately upgraded my account to the standard (online via credit card). Minutes later I recruited my wife through Recruit a Friend too, and gave her a standard account key (not with the credit card).

Right from the start we could summon each other and she could grant me levels (we tested once), but the triple XP is not working. We tried new characters, and it persisted.

By the way, my account says "10 Day Referral Trial - Active" and "Upgrade to Standard Account - Pending" (date 5/2/09). Does it mean that I'll have to wait until then (5/2/09) to get the full account and the triple XP?
My wife's account says "Free Month - Pending" and she's apparently not trial anymore. She can invite me to party while I still can't.

Do I have to wait the 10 days? Or is it a question of the "72 hours" thing about credit cards? But if it is the case, why can she grant me levels already?

Thanks.

Q u o t e:

No, that simply means that the the transaction is pending. The account upgrade takes up to 72 hours to process.

For the 30 days of game time, that will take over once the time left on the account expires. You have 10 days of game credit from the trial account, that doesn't go away when you upgrade. :)

Now, as to the triple experience.

Now I see that you and your wife have a level 2 and a level 17 character each. Were you grouped, in close proximity and killing mobs that were not considered trivial?

Was anyone else in the group? I noticed your account is also linked to another account. Remember that the quests/mob kills can not be trivial to any linked member in the group.

Are you certain you were not receiving triple experience? This bonus experience shows up in the combat window and will look like this: Player gains x experience (=y amount from Refer-a-Friend).
