<p>Well it said we were earning exp normally. Is there anyway to confirm in game ?</p><p>And we didn't seem to levelling any faster then the other people in our group and none of them had RAF.</p><p>But perhaps I was mistaken.</p>

<p>The response I got from email support was different.</p><p>"Yes the charge is currently pending, you must wait until the purchase completes. And since it is an international charge, it can take up to 12 days or so."</p><p>So I am going to assume no exp bonus until then either.</p><p>The banking sector is awesome ... I swear they still use carrier pidgeons at most banks.</p>

<p>I re-read the stickied post in this forum wrt to recruit a friend.</p><p>What do I get when my Friend converts to a paying subscriber?Upon successful conversion to paying subscription of 1st Prospect...SNIP...as long as Recruiter is grouped with a Prospect he or she will receive a 3x XP boost...SNIP...What does my Friend get if they convert to a paying subscriber?...SNIP...As long as Prospect is grouped with Recruiter, he or she will receive a 3x XP boost...SNIP...</p><p>To me that says both the recruiter and prospect get 3times bonus as long as they are grouped together ? (obviously other non recruitee recruiters won't) ? Are you saying that isn't what will happen (after the international payments get sent via pidgeons) ?</p>
