Blizz Buffs the Lawbringer Rules | Dominate Your Server , big thanks Lawbringer
I got an email from Blizzard last night. At first, I thought maybe it was my beta invite - but no such luck. It was news about a new program that can really help you level if you use the Lawbringer rules.
Now It seems that Blizz gets it from both directions from a lot of players. New players say the game is too hard at times, experts hammer them when they nerf things. It seems like every decision they make is met with some controversy. It’s not going to be any different with this one.
A few days ago I told you about the two rules I run with: never quest out of rest and always run in a party of two. Well, the new recruit a friend system is really going to make rule number two very attractive to a lot of folks, and probably draw the ire of many power players.
Here’s how it works: you refer someone to play
WoW and when they activate their new account they insert a code that links their account to yours. The two accounts stay linked for up to 90 days and if you also play with the toons of the friend you referred you get some BIG buffs to your leveling. Take a look at these!
- When in a party with your friend you both get TRIPLE experience
- For every two levels your friend gains, they can give one of your alts a free level
- You and your friend can summon each other from anywhere in Azeroth
Now, if triple experience doesn’t get you fired up I don’t know what will. There are a couple of other nifty little things that might be of interest to you as well:
- When your friend pays for 60 days play time, you get an exclusive Zhevra mount (Epic Speed) at level 60
- When your friend buys their first 30 days of game time you get 30 days free.
So for those of you who already run in a team this could be a real bonus. It certainly will blow all of the arguments for going solo out of the water. And before you say - “well, yeah, if you can get somebody else to play,” think about it really hard.
Gavin and I already own three accounts each. But this buff is so good, we may very well just have to have one of us start a new account to take advantage of this little deal. For all of you couples and buddies that already play, you might consider doing the same thing.
In 90 days you could probably get 2 or 3 toons each to 70 using these experience buffs and summoning skill. Since you get 30 days free when you buy 60 days, your total out of pocket cost is $40 for the TBC key and $15 for the 60 days play time since you get $15 free on your main account. So for $55 bucks you can get the better buffs than any set of epic in the game as far as leveling is concerned, and a vanity epic land mount to boot.
Considering that if you were to buy a level 70 with zero gear it would set you back about $500, and powerleveling will cost you about $350 to 70 (if you even trust those things) and just buying one or two thousand gold would cost you more than $55 bucks it sounds like a bargain to me. I am in no way advocating those things, I discourage them strongly, but in the current market place being able to buy triple experience and 35 free levels for just $55 bucks sounds like a deal.
You see, Blizz wants people to actually enjoy the new content in WotLK, so they have made a way for you to level to 70 as easily as possible.
Especially if it gives new players a serious buff to leveling, then it’s a good move so that more people will be ready to go when the next xpac goes live than were ready for tBC. So they nerfed XP from 30-60 and now this. Plus, since Death Knights will start at level 55, it only makes sense to make leveling for any other class easier as well (although I assume this will still be in effect for DK’s when WotLK comes out - talk about getting to end game fast!)
So go get your mom, your brother, your granny an account and double box it if you have to to make this work for you. You can’t make leveling any easier than this friends. Refer yourself - and Dominate.

this is a HUGE buff for noobs, or anyone who wants/needs to powerlevel fast.
