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!

    Man... this has nothing to do with other mmos, this has only to do with WoW and how bad it has turned. Every other mmo arround has free trials, so plz be reasonable isntead of being a blinded fanboy.

    With RaF+Perks+Boa it took me 14hrs 20mins to level an other Hunter from 1-80. I wouldn't say it's impossible but it IS doable in 10. ;-)

    This is exactly what it is, everyone that resubs now will count for this Q1, very smart indeed, I will wait to see what they offer June, might even be better!

Level again with that spec to "learn" it?

    And please drop the notion that classes take ages to learn. WoW isn't the hardest game, especially if you're pve'ing. Takes a day at most to learn what to do. More for pvp, but definitely doesn't take the whole leveling process to understand class mechanics.

    TL;DR version: Shut up.
    I have every class to 85 but I only play one at time and usually go months with out playing the others. When I do finally start playing different class again at 85 I've completely forgotten how to play him and it usually takes less than a hour to figure it out.

    Learning your class isn't difficult at all.

    Wow lol, looks like the new devs are almost finished with urinating on what the old devs worked so hard to achieve. I predict the next big change will be that bosses drop epics even when you don't kill them, or an experience bar that grows even while just sitting in ogrimmar and stormwind.

    Unless blizz invents a scroll of forgetfulness, I won't forget the reason I no longer play and give them my money.

    Because it takes 6 years do lvl to 85? No i didn't think so. This saves people about one month of leveling

    How does a boost to 80 for ONE SINGLE CHARACTER ruin the 1-60 experience exactly?

    Are people really that thick? I'm so bored of the wow is dying psychobabble, there are 10million people playing. Yes they lost 800k, but in a massive game it's to be expected that there are surges and decreases of numbers during every quarter. You are just extremely bad trolls/morons/have no idea how an mmo works. God forbid a few people quit here and there, it's clearly dying. Why don't you calculate the 10mil players x 12euros a month and tell me how bankrupt it is... Just stop being butthurt that every "wowkiller" to have ever come out has failed to dent it. Remember when Lord of the rings was going to be the wowkiller? And Conan? And Waronline? And Eve and DC Universe and star trek and god knows what else. It just kills you inside that people actually enjoy a 7 year old game rather than a shinier one. Shiny doesn't mean it's decent, which all the previous 'wow killers' have proved. And to the other side of the trolling, handing you an 80 isn't really much different from how fast you can already get it from RaF. To everyone that can't read by the way, you only get the free level 80 if you use the scroll of resurrection in the next 90 days, after that the offer is over. The revamp they did to 1-60 will still be seen by new players after this promotion is over.

    GW2 is different. I found GW to be immensely boring and everyone I knew who tried it dropped it within a month. WoW is not in deep trouble if they have 10 million subs.

    So lets see, if I want another account, but I dont want to pay for all the expansion, all i need to do is buy a $15 basic game, stop playing for 3 months, use my main account to resurrect the alt account and you get a free lvl 80, gear, character transfer, a mount for your main account... nice.

    GW2 is nothing like the original GW. I don't think WoW is going anywhere anytime soon, but they are going to start really hemorrhaging subscriptions when GW2 comes out, that would be my prediction at least.

    The same lines were used when SWTOR was coming. WoW didn't take a beating. So, pardon me if I don't see GW2 stealing the MMO spotlight.
