Recruit a Friend in WoW - New Functions Soon?

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Some interesting things have been found in the game files - error messages that appear to relate to in-game abilities based on the recruit-a-friend facility.

Currently, if you invite a friend to WoW, you receive a free month’s subscription fee, and that’s it. The error messages that have been discovered make it look like there will be the ability to “Grant Levels” to your friend, and maybe “Summon” them. Here’s all we know so far:

  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_SUMMON_COOLDOWN = “You can only summon your friend once per hour.”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_SUMMON_LEVEL_MAX_I = “You cannot summon players above level %d.”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_TARGET_TOO_HIGH = “That player’s level is too high.”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_TOO_FAR = “That player is too far away.”;
  • FACTION_STANDING_INCREASED_BONUS = “Reputation with %s increased by %d. (+%.1f Refer-A-Friend bonus)”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_DIFFERENT_FACTION = “You cannot grant levels to a character of the opposite faction.”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_GRANT_LEVEL_MAX_I = “You cannot grant levels to players level %d or higher.”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_INSUFFICIENT_GRANTABLE_LEVELS = “You have not earned enough levels to grant any more levels.”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_NOT_NOW = “You cannot grant that player a level right now.”;
  • ERR_REFER_A_FRIEND_NOT_REFERRED_BY = “You were not referred by that player.”;

Obviously, Blizzard may never implement this. On the other hand, after Wrath, there will be 80 levels for new players to tackle. Are Blizzard planning to bring in fresh ways for new players to level a little quicker?

New Season 4 items sneak out on live realms

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Yes, that pic below is the priest’s robe, direct from Arena season 4 (you can click on it to see a bigger version), and here is the priest’s helm from season 4. As the story goes over at World of Raids, a player on EU Arathor accidentally deleted some season 1 items, and a GM then accidentally gave him season 4 items in replacement instead. The items were taken right back (duh), but their IDs were activated on that realm, so anyone with a little item ID knowledge could pull up the stats.

For comparison, these have boosts almost all around from the season 3 items, which is pretty much to be expected. And while the Stamina is clearly much higher than anything we’ve seen at the higher levels, the actual damage doesn’t compare much to even the Tier 6 stuff. PvP gear in season 4 is all about staying alive — we’ve seen a few other items leak out already, and it’s the same deal on those.

Which is probably as it should be. We should note, also, that this stuff may not actually be done — although the fact that it’s spawnable on the live realms might mean that Blizzard is ready for season 4. I still don’t think we’ll see it until after the arena tourney, but who knows?
