Scroll of Resurrection

So WoW is giving a buff to their “Scroll of Resurrection” which has until now offered players a way to bring their friends back into the game. It offered free play time for returning players and that was about it. It’s getting a few new incentives for people to lure their friends back to the crack-like game with a new spectral mount (Gryphon/Wyvern). Players who are on the receiving end and returning back to wow get:

  • A single character boosted all the way to level 80.
  • A free upgrade to Cataclysm, regardless of the expansions you already own.
  • An optional free character move/faction change.
  • 7 free days of game time.

Yeah that’s right – you can own the base vanilla game and automatically get Cataclysm and a level 80 as well as a free character move/race change. Sounds like they’re really yearning to have some of their players come back. Offering expansions to these players isn’t really costing them money either – as they probably wouldn’t have paid for the expansions in the first place seeing as they’ve quit the game already.

In order to be eligible, a player must have previously subscribed to World of Warcraft for at least 30 days, and your account must have become inactive on or before March 4th, 2012.

A forum member posed the question: You revamped the whole 1-60 levelling process and made it faster and easier to level and now you’re offering a quick way to skip all of that?? I wish I was given a free 80 for having 6 or 7 level 85’s already but nooooo. Sounds tempting – will you be giving it a shot?
