Okay updated thank you all hope it helps you in skilling :)
Just tried this. After logging in and out several times *after* new account activated free trial and still nothing.
Does it still work? :(
Infos
-I've done all of the tutorial tasks, and got some of my stats to level 10+, Still no email or pop up in-game.
-Logged multiple times, It's been 12 Hours since I've referred the person
-My referral link is https://secure.runescape.com/m=frien...PN3SUTF-YTNg4A
Will provide more info when it shows up
think it was fixed not sure tho
Anyone confirm if it has been patched???
I tried it again but I never got the email saying 14 day free trial. Any thoughts lol???
It appears to have been silently fixed. Your new account gets 14 day trial membership and 7 day double experience bonus (until level 30 any skills) but existing account (referrer) gets squat unless new account extends/renews trial membership.
Still, with the double experience on the new account you can get a new bot leveled up and making some money in a hurry.
Someone closed then since it fixed
How do I get the 14 day trial? :o
On your main refer a new account (using refer a friend feature) before you create the new account.
The new account's email will get an email inviting them to join Runescape. Click on that link and use that to signup/create the new account.
Wait a while...Another email will come offering a trial membership. Click on that to activate the 14 days trial membership.
The one I tried it on also received a 7 day 100% bonus experience boost (only applies for skills under 30). Sweet!
Did that for me on the second account I referred. First one it came right away.
Not working, they don't give 14 days member try anymore ..
Thanks for the heads up on this! Seems like a lot of work but you can't complain about an extra 10% xp! Does it last all 7 days or does it expire after X amount of XP?
Edit: Not to mention I wouldn't mind having a account with 14 days membership trial, will give me something to level up and maybe use as a account to practice my scripting with.
would really help for 99 cons, 99 smith, 99 craft and 99 pray. thanks =]
I don't think they are offering trials anymore and what I'm training is a pure so defo not doing Blood Pact if that's the only way to get a trial :/
does this still works?
The 10% boost for the referrer no longer works. Some do gooder posted the bug/glitch on the official forums. Shortly after it stopped working. You now only get the boost if the new account signs up (pays) for members beyond the 14-day trial.
I believe you still get the 14 day trial when you sign up a new a account. After all that was the whole point of the Burthorpe/Taverly makeover: Start everyone in the new tutorial showing off how great members is so everyone will sign up.
During that time I believe (not 100% sure) the 25K trade limit is temporarily lifted and returns when your trial runs out. Unless of course you pony up the money for continued members.
Edit: Just tried trading with an account that had the 14 day trial and expired. 25K limit is back once trial expires.
nice guide, this is something i will try out one the double xp weekend to get an extra 10 percent xp bonus.
patched.
Everyones saying its patched but if you go onto the main site and click a friend it still says you get a 10% xp boost if you refer a friend..
EDIT: ok yeah you have to subscribe to membership to get the 10% boost.
