I’ve been trying out the new Refer-A-Friend system in WoW. And as I have no friends who are even remotely interested in WoW and yet are not already playing it, who else could I refer but myself?
Yes. I am now officially a dual-boxer.

Boy, it’s fun. I love setting things on fire anyway, so controlling two fire mages? Awesome. I can certainly see the appeal.
On the new refer-a-friend system:
My pair of diminutive pyromaniacs get triple xp when questing together, thus propelling them through levels extremely rapidly. This means you get to hit level 60 very quickly (the triple xp stops there). It also means you’re doing many fewer quests and killing many fewer things, so your characters are constantly broke and often unable to afford new skills or spells. So, although it’s good to be able to bring people in and get them to the endgame fairly quickly, the referring player ought to already have a high-level character to act as a rich patron for the two new characters.
Also, the level granting feature is nice.
