I have recruited a friend, He upgraded his account, also it acts as if he is still playing on a trial account, He can't private message others or join guild. Also, He is not getting triple exp, I am unable to grant him lvls...

As I read he is suppose to be getting triple exp,

Yes, our accounts are linked, At least thats what it says on the recruit friend webpage

If anybody has any ideas or info that I don't know about this recruit a friend thing please post

If your friend did an Electronic Upgrade then they will still experience some trial restrictions, such as not being able to join a guild or freely private chat people, for up to 72 hours while the charge for the upgrade finalizes.

His leveling and skill restrictions should be removed however so he can continue leveling up.

The triple experience is available if the recruitee and recruiter are in a group together. there are restrictions on this however. The monster being killed most yield experience for both people, and the players can not be 4 levels or more apart from each other.

You will want to make sure you are following all the guidelines which you can review here:

Once you are sure you are in line with the Recruit-A-Friend system, kill some baddies and check your combat log. You should see your experience gained, with a notation of how much of it was from the Recruit-A-Friend bonus.
