"Recruit a friend" code thread - New player exp boosts!

[CrystalMagus]

I never understood how this recruit a friend thing worked x_x

Does it have to be a new character and a new player? or can any one use these codes so long as they sub for 90 days? O_o; that's the part where I am confused. >_<

Essentially the code gives someone a 1-month trial of the game. The trial restricts them from from /telling and other sorts of social interactions (correct me if I'm wrong). Once the person who has entered the code and decides to purchase 90 days + (or a cumulative purchase of 30 days each month to 90), the person who provided the code will get a Chocobo Mount and other sorts of fun stuff.

The Recruit A Friend announcement page makes no mention of any such month long trial. The only bonus given to the friend who was recruited is the Friendship Circlet. There's no game time included with that.

Now, there is also a Free Trial program that's not associated with the Recruit A Friend program. Anyone who wants to try the game can do so on PC for 14 days. (Last I heard they were planning on adding a similar 14-day Free Trial option for PS3 and PS4, but I'm not certain if that's out yet.) That only requires that you haven't had the game through a paid or beta version before, no recruiting needed.
