Default Free level 80

Looks like Blizzard is getting a bit more desperate. The new scroll of resurrection offers some additional new perks:

Quote:
The new-and-improved scroll provides players with a bunch of freebies, like new mounts, and it also allows the returning player to instantly level up to level 80. Not only that, but the scroll also supplies returning players with a free upgrade to World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, seven days of free game time, and free realm and faction transfers so that they can play with friends no matter what server or faction they're on.

I played for quite a while quit about 2years ago and then got back in with Cata and was gone again in about 3 months.

And yes I know:

They likely are mostly hoping for people to come back and buy the next expansion, whenever that is...

this will work. a fair amount of people have already dropped TOR, if only temporarily.

I'm kinda wondering if you end up with a naked level 80, or they give you a starter set of gear. Also is there going to be a bunch of 80s running around that have no idea how to play.

Considering that in every iteration of WoW, plenty of players can get a character to whatever the max level cap at the time was without knowing how to play, I don't see this making a difference. Bad players will always be bad players no matter what level they start at.

I guess that's true, I never really played the endgame stuff. Never had enough time to devote to it. I tended to just level alts. -50 dkp for me.

don't feel bad, i never liked pve raiding, always doing the same encounters over and over. i had an 80 of every class but lock before i quit, all i did was battlegrounds. team tactics was my favorite part. get one to 80, full BGgear, start another one.

I sold my account just before cata. Made a free toon In February to check cata out and I am happy I sold my old toon. I ran a 10 man ICC up to LK, and got the 25 man LK kill. Ranked in the top 50 players of my realm. I quit while I was ahead, easy $250.

Instead of running around doing nothing in WoW, I play Skyrim now to de-compress and release some stress.

We were working on killing heroic LK when I quit. I thought about coming back but nothing about it really thrills me anymore.

the only thing i ever wanted to do was kill the LK and see the story playout. with pservs getting close to fully scripting it i dont see a reason to p2p. although i might go back just for the new expan because i freaking love pandas and have been screaming for pandarens since wow was announced.

There's a little in-game animation which I think is followed by a cutscene. I don't know I always took a bathroom break whenever I knew he was about to die (took us a ton of tries to get him but once you do it's just rinse, repeat).

I can't play WoW anymore. My wife and I played for 4 years, and had a good time meeting new people, etc.

IMO Blizzard went in the wrong direction with WoW. I don't know if they're just trying to keep their numbers up long enough until the next WoW killer is released or what. But they've lost most of the serious players that made the gun actually work. Now it's just a bunch of disconnected idiots pugging end game. No guild needed, just get on LFG and pug it.

GG Blizzard, GG.
