Update - People are wondering how newly level 80 characters will be able to do anything with their level 10 or level 20 gear. The answer is probably in the new ilvl 232 uncommon armor sets + weapons introduced a while back on Patch 4.3 PTRs. However, this is pure speculation and we should probably sit tight and wait for the official announcement.

Scroll of Resurrection Revamp - Free lvl 80 Character and more!
The new Scroll of Resurrection revamp seems to be on live servers and includes a free level 80 character and a free character/faction change for the person you're bringing back to the game! We will probably get more information from Blizzard very soon.

We can only assume that the Spectral Gryphon and Spectral Wyvern Mounts teaser from yesterday means people doing the recruiting also get nice perks.

Thanks to Kaeh for his forum post!

    Oh my god leveling is the hardest part of this game, this game is so easy now there is no difficulty in raiding or pvp. Without the mindless grindfest there is no reason to play this game anymore I quit!

    it's not a FREE level 80. it's a free boost to 80. most people forget this is scroll of resurrection, aka the person needs to already have an account, and it can't be active. maybe if you go buy a new account with the reduced prices of the battlechest and wotlk, and then cancel after your free month, and then wait a while to "resurrect" yourself, you can get a no work level 80, but, by that time you could be 85 with full epic gear anyways.*also brb resurrecting my old account and transferring my warrior.

    What happened to learning your class? What happened to revamped world and news quests? Dear oh dear Blizzard this is ridiculous.

    Idd, now we would have many lvl 1's being boosted to 80 and not knowing their class. The game is already in a very easy difficulty but why make it even more easier? next step: free lvl 85's (90's) in pandaria with full epics... and why skip all the content?

    Wait hold up. Time out. Let's say I have a friend who only has BC, this free upgrade will automatically shoot him straight up to Cata access? If so that just saved him $80 since LK and Cata are still $39.99 in stores

    O.o I might be coming back to play for a month or so now. Free 80? Yes please.

    There is a free boost to 80, but are you given any items to compensate for the jump? Or are you going to fight mobs naked?

    /Agreed... I've literally just seen this & thought it seems quite desperate, it'll be interesting to see the results of subscriptions next time they are released.

    Remember months back some people were screaming " what's next, blizzard giving us lvl 80s". Now it's true...
