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!

    Keyword being "could be" just what I'm thinking. Plus, Boub put it on my main page...that's like putting it on Facebook, THAT MEANS ITS LEGIT.
    Yeh, but all Boub did was quote the original posters thread, rather than confirming it from any other sources.

    Looks shady. The "message" doesn't have a capital letter and around the "play free now" contour doesn't really look that good.

    What makes you assume that the word "message" is the only word there and isn't the end of another sentence that is cut off?

    I think they forgot to add the part where the new lvl 80 character will also automatically have ~50k gold, all the other things are obviously not enough. /sarcasm off

    I don't think you know how my brain works so let me explain it to you.

    I read something on the internet.

    therefore...

    I must believe the internet.

    Yepp, next flop to hit the stores! Most overrated crap I've seen in ages, it just doesnt have the "feel"..

    Im sad WoW is dying (left it myself 7-8 months ago), I'm also sad that SWTOR didnt fill the gap (still subb'd but play like 5hrs/week).

    I think ppl are fed up with the standard boring MMORPG formula and that's why GW2 will fail so hard it won't even be funny.

    The companies need to reinvent themselves, we KNOW MMORPG now, we need something new, we need the new "thing" that WoW was 7 years ago!

    What a nice suprise! It really was a good idea to quit just before Zul'aman patch went live and Blizzard seems to agree. Maybe I'll even pay for a month, just for the heck of it. Funny, this is like the fifth time I'm being rewarded for not playing. They keep sending me these free 7-day card every few months and using them wont mess up the Scroll of Resurrection (Well, at least not the old one). Now days that's all I need to get through most the content.

    Do we need to have an account upgraded to at least WotLK?

    Except the fact that SWTOR will probably be down to 500k subs by next year while WoW's subs will be go back up again.

    Leveling to 80 doesn't even take long. I started a new character and after a few hours have it to level 20. It might be saving the person coming back like 8 - 10 hours. :\

    You're bang on. People here are trying to flock to the next big thing and if that next big thing doesn't meet expectations, they're back to WoW.

    If people are going to jump ship to another MMO, the moment you start comparing WoW to _____, you're not gonna last very long in that ______ game and will eventually come back to WoW.

    As for the MMO genre right now, I look at it like the NBA slam dunk competition. Was great in it's heyday but the newer participants are trying to revamp the old stuff to make it relevant again. Now that competition is a disgrace. Nothing new has been in the MMO scene for a while.

    WoW went all in during the last quarter and they still net a loss. Clearly SW:TOR being out for 7 days in that last quarter affected their sub numbers. If we really want to compare the two, the 1st QTR results will be quite the show. With WoW trying to offer this up to the inactives, something tells me that the 1st QTR numbers aren't going to be impressive.

    Except WoW wont ever be going up again, but you're cute that you think so! The game is old, busted and played it's role! Stop hugging your old busted pants and realize they'll never be the same again, toss and move on!
