I wonder if they're checking IP addresses, and how long of a membership could you get? Does this lift trade limits? I need to look into this :)

You need a different card if paying by card? Is there any rules saying you cant recruit yourself? If not you can I guess

Well, the hassle is too much for the profit, you just gain 10% of what the recruited account has earned in terms of a particular skill as bonus experience for you.

i.e - If your recruited account earned 2 mil experience in Cooking, you get 200k experience as bonus experience and nothing else.

Quite not worth it IMO

not really. say a gold farmer was looking to expand his runecrafting army. He could make a new acc and get to a high level on it. And still earn xp on one of his army, pretty much free xp as he wouldn't of be getting that xp normally.

According to this, I can make a level 3 account members… put it in the goblin fields with a sling and have it get ranged XP. My main would also get range xp, all I have to do is be logged in.. in that world?

But would the xp even be worth it on a main? I take it you cant just get like 100 accounts linked to you?

And in the same world? Well, I'm an ignorant in that field of bypassing the multiple logins so in the absence of further information, I'm gonna estimate that it isn't possible.

Its really easy to bypass their multiple log in system, i can get 10+ accs on the same world, with the same ip, they can probably see it, but i also use VPN and VPS when required they dont see me :)

Don't think its an exploit…

Sounds like a good idea lol. Dont think its an exploit considering Jagex is money hungry and dont care if you make 100 Characters linked to you main, at the end of the day their giving you Xp on a video game and they getting cash money.

yeah exactly like I said. At the end of the day jagex is a company.
company aims are to be profitable and to grow (also jagex is mainly owned by an investment company)
so doing this will properly bring more money into their pockets at the end of the day so they won't care.

If you are going to buy membership in the future, might as well link one account. Use the new account to make some geepees. Play/bot on your actual account. Its like paying for membership on the actual account, but, you would receive bonus xp.
