Q: Does Blizzard have a referral program?

Blizzard contradicts itself on its own site: the support article still says a returning player must have been away 24 months, while the news post announcing the update says one year. And every famous old figure — 300% bonus XP, granted levels, a free month per recruit — belongs to the pre-2020 version and is gone.
