Refer a friend help

My friend and I recently linked an account to one another, and there are a few questions that couldn't be cleared up in the FAQ.

1: Does the triple XP stop once the character hits level 60? Or does it continue?

2: (This one is a little complicated) My friend currently owns two accounts, both with horde on the same server. Let's call them Account A and Account B. Account A has 2 level 70's on it, few other random alts, and has had its characters transfered to a WotLK beta account. Account B is the trial account that he made new characters on, obviously for easier leveling, and is home to scattered characters level range 35-50.

If my friend transfers his 2 level 70's from account A onto account B, will his WotLK account be effected at all?

and 3: Say there's a situation where I am on a high level character helping my friend play account B. I noticed that if the character I am playing is too high of level, my friend doesn't get any refer a friend XP. What is the cut-off point for this to continue to work? (i.e. what's the max level difference between characters on the linked accounts)

Blue reply would be highly appreciated but if anyone has accurate information about this it would be a huge help.

Thanks in advance!

Q u o t e:

It should not affect the current build of the WotLK beta, Modae, but once you transfer those characters off of account A you may not be able to copy them over to beta at a later date.

Azezell already addressed your other questions but I'll quote from our FAQ to add some additional clarification.

For question 1.
Q u o t e:

Q: Does the boosted experience gain continue through level 70?

A: No, the bonus experience gained through this feature will stop for a specific character at level 60.

Q: How does the bonus experience work?

Let's say we have Account A with a level 70 character, Account B with a level 1 character and Account C with another level 1 character, all three characters are grouped. Account B and Account C are linked, will they receive triple experience?

A: Bonus experience should only be granted if the experience is not trivial to anyone in the group. Our Quality Assurance Team is looking into reports that some of these restrictions are not consistent and hope to resolve the issue soon.

Q: Does a character from your veteran account have to be grouped with a character on the recruited account to get the experience bonuses?

A: Yes, you must be partied and in close proximity with a character from the linked account in order to receive the experience bonus.

And question 3.
Q u o t e:

Q: So if I'm grouped with a character on the linked account, we are in different zones; I understand that we we won't get the bonus experience for killing but will we still receive the bonus for turning in quests?

A: You will only receive the experience bonus when you are grouped with a character who is linked on the account and both characters are present when turning in the quest. No bonus experience will be granted for quests that a trivial to either player.

Q: I recruit two friends using the Recruit-a-Friend option. If I were to group with the two friends I recruited, would we all gain triple the experience?

A: Should all three of you be within 4 levels of each other and in close proximity to each other while killing mobs and turning in quests? Yes.
