As you may have already heard– either because all your WoW-playing friends started calling you, or you started calling all your non-WoW playing “friends”– Blizzard has launched their new, insanely beneficial Recruit-a-Friend program.  The reasons, and some uses, are already well-covered here.  I’d like to discuss another use, which is probably my favorite.

Your higher-level newly-WoWed friend can just grant you levels if they outlevel you.  This eliminates the messy business of giving out your account info to powerleveling services– just pay them money, let them buy a new account, level it up, and send you levels.  This is now the safest way of powerleveling, and coincidentally, it also makes Blizzard the most money.  To get your brand-new character up to 60, the powerleveling service would have to buy two copies of WoW.  AFAICT, this isn’t even against Blizzard’s terms of service.
