The Recruit-A-Friend link is per account, Linnabelle, not per character. So even if you were to refer a new account to get the benefit, once you transferred that character to your other account, that character would no longer receive those perks.
Unfortunately, the Recruit-A-Friend feature is only able to be used to recruit a newly created account. Currently established accounts are not eligible to be recruited. However, if you think this is a service we should offer, or you have other thoughts or feedback on the feature, then I might advise posting your thoughts in our Suggestion forums. It is the premiere place to have your voice heard by our developers and policy makers, and we always encourage players to take advantage of that outlet whenever possible. =)
