i think they decided to give Free access to Cataclysm because the expansion is Crapaclysm!
What's with the pessimism? Blizzard is doing a great thing in my opinion. I know a few people who quit back in Wrath because their server became empty and they thought $25 was ridiculous to transfer their character, and now they can get a server transfer, a jump to 80, and a free upgrade to Cata for only the $15 subscription fee? I know I sound like a cheesy commercial, but I really don't understand how anything negative can be taken from this deal.
This REEKS of desperation.
Sub numbers must be dropping hard this quarter, the policy of handing everything on a plate seems to be working out for them.
Man my local grocery chain must be doing terrible!! They keep having promotions and sending me discounts and free stuff!
It is pretty funny that the suckers paying for wow currently aren't benefitting from this unless they have that awesome annual pass

Blizzard could do so by making adequate expansion, not semi-expansion. Cool sub numbers can come not only from complex promotions but also from content.
Speaking of which - "instant level 80" skips all interesting content.
Why I had no doubts that new mounts would have to do something with convoluted microtransactions, they could as well come from some new original 5-men, which Cata hadn't after release, or from new questlines/zone, which could finally have replayability as currently all Cata zones are barely replayable, or at least as true veterans' recognition for having long-time subcription in UO style. But I guess making content is hard way and brings less USD than easy microtransaction way.
oh wow why can't i hold all this mad
Oh boy. I wonder how long it'll be before it's actually in-game.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
so they took two of the most badly animated mounts ingame, make it see-though, and set that as the reward?...sigh, there not even bothering anymore.
Does the person resurrected also get the mount?
Can I RaF myself and start a lv80 alt? :PAwesome deal though.
