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!

    It does seem like it's an act of desperation and it's near the end of the 1st QTR. Looks like they're trying to soften the blow again.

    Well, the longevity of a player's WoW career is dependent on leveling alts.

    But otherwise, yeah.... lol.

    Smart move. The 'Need to play catch up'' is a major deterrent for returning players, I needed to RAF boost a friend of mine recently for that very reason. This is the next logical step. Loling at the people who think getting to 80 is anything worth moaning about. Do it with RAF, be done in 3 hours. Next.

    I really cant believe they are giving a lvl 80 away for this....so desperate and it is about as far away from an MMORP you can get imo. You skip lore/quests/skills/training and even worse learning your class. Come on Blizz have some integrity ffs. And no I am not jealous, I enjoy learning my class and skills one by one actually.

    Uhm, theres also a free realm and faction transfer in this package! Is this real? Mera

    This is going to make the dungeon finder from level 80-85 HORRIBLE as these people will have literally no gear, and probably be too lazy to buy any either. They're going to be doing virtually no damage and needing on everything. LEECHES!

    Does this include a free character account transfer if so *sends self scroll *
  1. Smetz's Avatar
    man some ppl are way to stupid. Its not like you can give this to a new player. there must be an inactive account and cmon chances are that the player already know how to play. but hey its mmo-champion, what can you expect.

    PvP is the best thing about this game. Sure, it's easier to get the gear, but out playing someone with the same gear is much more gratifying than rolling them.
    PvP isn't easy unless you're at like 1550 rating, or if you're just referring to baddies in BG's.

    Actually it does as I am pretty sure the mounts are going to be part of this promotion also.

    1. Why would they reward loyalty? They already know you're going to keep playing, and have no need to convince you to keep paying.

    2. I love seeing everyone here complain about things. The deep rooted issue is that you're unhappy with the game and are too addicted to actually step up and quit.

    3. The whole point in doing this is so that said persons reactivate their accounts thus getting $15 for every sucker who falls for this trap.

    4. "Remember the good old days in WoW? I do, time to start playing!" -- LOL the "good old days" are over, this game is nothing like it used to be, and the fact that they are using nostalgia to sucker more players in is pretty sad, but good move on their part.
