Character Level Boost to 90 priced at $60
The US servers went back online after the maintenance and for a few minutes people could access the interface to upgrade their character. Unless announced otherwise by Blizzard, upgrading your character to level 90 will cost you $60 on live servers.

Thanks to Zheo for the screenshot!

    It began the moment they started creating mounts/pets/armor etc. with our subscription money and then charge extra for it.

    Way too high. $40 would have been my limit.

    Hot damn. I guess it makes sense though. Pay full price for all the expansions to not play the game.

    Yes, which is actually why this service even exists: because Blizzard is well-aware that some people will simply buy a second copy of the game and expansion, make a brand-new 90 on a fresh account, and then merge it over to their main account, and figured that it's better to streamline the process than prevent it.

    So, since the sole reason for offering the service was because people would just buy the expansion pack on a new account and merge their newly-90 character over, I see nothing wrong with pricing it equivalent to buying a new copy of the game + WoD.

    So, they couldn't get a microtransaction expert to work for them. Make sense.

    No Blizz, just no.

    Glad its 60 dollars, would have think they'd make it like 30 (greedy Blizzard wants easy money). This way people won't be bothered too soon to buy this ridiculous boost.

    It's actually cheaper than I was hoping. I was hoping for 90 bucks. A buck per level lol

    Glad the price is high. Will help stop it being abused by FOTM rerollers.

    I agree $60 is way too cheap.... They should of priced it at around $100 per toon.

    Good it ended up more being something for people who are just DESPERATE to not have to level.

    Why are people surprised at this price? Many people already stated that if there was no paid 90 boost in the store, they would be willing to pay over $100 for a new account + all expansions + the month of time required to activate said account. There are people that do that now with RAF, they recruit themselves with a new account, then level 1-2 characters and buy another account after the month has run out.

    More than I expected, but

    This is a good thing.

    It will put people off using the service, so at the least the people QQing about it in the first place might shut up now.

    It's cheaper than to buy another account up to WoD and transfer it over to your account.

    This is great! Atleast this will prevent all the kids from buying new chars here and there
