Where/when to buy Cataclysm?

[Owltoid]

I'll likely be resubbing for MoP, but my accounts are currently upgraded to WotLK. Anyone know of a good deal on Cataclysm? Think I should just wait a little bit until Blizzard drops the price?

I would go with the Scroll of Resurrection deal.

Basically have someone send you Scroll invites.
You accept those, which lets you transfer a toon to their server/faction, -or- to boost to 80th (from whatever level) a toon on their server.
The boosted/transferred toon is raised to 80th, gets all flight skills except for 280% > 310% flying, along with most/all flight paths.

The accounts are automatically given Cataclysm.
I think you get a week of play time as well.
If they (you) pay for a month, the referring account will get a fancy spectral something mount as well.

If you've been unsubscribed since March 4th, the best deal on Cata is to get someone to send you a new Scroll of Resurrection (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/scroll-of-resurrection/).

Wow!!! That's an incredible deal! I'm sooo glad I asked now. Anyone have a scroll they would like to send? I'll be monitoring this post for the next few hours.

If there is an alliance multiboxing server then I'd transfer with my priest team.

From your location, I'll assume a US based server.

Not sure how active the alliance servers are...

I know <The Zerg> on Magtheridon (Horde) is quite active.
I transferred (unfortunately, not via Scroll of Resurrection) and faction changed a team to join them.
Haven't been on as often as I'd like... but there are more active boxers here than anywhere else (several guilds worth, actually... as two guilds (1,000 toons in a guild) was not enough); it's a good group of players.

The server is medium population, PvP.
The economy is fairly strong horde side, very comparable to my original server (Cenarius US, Alliance).

If you're considering rolling on a new server anyway...
You can use Scroll of Resurrection, to send your Priests to a horde or alliance server; the faction change is part of the Scroll.
They would be boosted to 80th, if they're not there already.
They would receive flying mounts (and all flying up to 280%), and all flight paths up to level 80 content.

Yea, Mag it is assuming I can get an invite into The Zerg and a scroll of resurrection from someone.
