World of Warcraft’s Recruit-A-Friend program is closing down next month, and is going to be replaced with something new.
World of Warcraft’s Recruit-A-Friend program is shutting down next month. It is not all bad news, however, as a new system will be replacing it. For a long time, the Recruit-A-Friend program facilitated your Warcraft addicted friend in their efforts to get you addicted as well. People who invited friends into the game using the system would get mounts, co-op benefits, and other goodies.
From June 11 onward, you will no longer be able to use the system to send invites to your buddies. This doesn’t mean that invites you send out on that last day will be useless. Anyone who receives an invite will have 90 days to use it to sign up to the game, and you shall both still get your rewards.
There are no details yet on what will be replacing the system, the Recruit-A-Friend page at the World of Warcraft website simply says it will be closing for maintenance. When it returns, and in what format, nobody seems to know right now.
If you have been working on collecting all the mounts for the Recruit-A-Friend program, it is time to step your game up. There has been no information provide on if those mounts will just no longer be obtainable, if they will be back with the new system, or if they will just transition into other areas of the game.
Programs to recruit friends always seem like great additions to certain games so I would expect this to be more of a rework of the current reward structure than anything else. Still, we will keep a close eye on the World of Warcraft and will keep you guys updated with more news about this as it breaks.
