You have to accept the scroll within the 90 day promotional period or no level boost.

I like this. You can activate one account, scroll a second, use the second to scroll a third, etc. I've done a few so far in the same day (thought I read you were limited to one per day per account though). 10 days free, level 80 free for each account, cata free (using it for sure on old lich king accounts I never upgraded). Can't beat that with a stick for 15 dollars.
hahahahhahahahah I just called billing up about SoR on an account I had just used the 7 day return to azeroth email on. They gave me the free level 80 on Mags but couldn't do it so I could get a mount on a refering account (fair enough I guess) but the funny thing was the email I just received from them about it after the service rep finished with me

I re-activated my main account about 2 weeks ago and my quad shaman accounts a week ago. I called Blizz CS and after waiting for 25 minutes I got a very friend rep. I told him that I wanted the scroll because my accounts had been inactive for 2 years and I had litterly just reactivated them before the scroll came out. I could tell that he wanted to do it but got shot down by his supervisor. He said that their system wouldn't let him, that any accounts active prior to march 4th are ineligable (I reactivated like Feb 29th), so I asked to speak with his supervisor.
After about 10 minutes of additional hold which I didn't mind the music ended and was replaced by static. I put that call on hold and called again but how its a 95 minute wait, OMFG!
If they won't credit back 4 of the 5 Catas ($160) and provide a realm transfer/faction change I'm going to cancel my subscription and de-activate cata on my account. Apparently they can do that at least, credit back the cost of Cata but then you're not able to log into any level 80+ accounts.
I don't really want to quit wow after returning from 2 years, especially as I just finished getting my shamans their full pvp set but this thing leaves a real bad taste in my mouth and I'm playing too much anyways.
heh posted my quote to general forums and got a 24 hour ban for trolling :/
Clovis, you just got bad timing not there fault that you wanted to play it before this came out, you should see all the people crying over it becuase they having been playing it for years and saying "Where's our free 80 blah blah blah" Reason why bliztard are doing this be beucase they are losing sales and a ton of players. Im going to reactive my accounts just for the free upgrades and 80's....maybe then deactive them after the 7 days just for the lols "thanks Blizzard* But back ot my point WOW IS GOING DOWN HILL they needed something to rise it up. BAM! SWTOR is big in Aus now becuase of the Aus servers like 1 or 2 million sold in aus alone. anyway back to loling it up with my free accounts
Yeah, bad timing indeed.
I just got an email from the customer service supervisor and I'm excited! I don't like to copy someone else's email without their permission but the jest of it is they're going to downgrade/refund my accounts from Cata and then provide free Cata upgrades along with a free boosted level 80 toon per account (hello 5 DKs?). No special mount though but that's okay with me.
I'm waiting for her reply to see if she'll transfer my toons over to Horde on Mag instead of the toon boost since that would be ideal. I really want to roll with the zerg :)
That's great news Clovis, and you should get the transfer with the boost as it's for use on the same character.
Had a similar issue, which lead to the quote I posted earlier. I had just used the 7 day return email the day before SoR, I got the boost but no mount either so seems like that's the biggest lose if you need support to fix SoR issues that aren't covered by their usual responses.
thats good clovis :) I dont know what new teams I want to make maybe 5 mages and 5 druids? whats most fun now days? and pwnage? I already have 5 shamans
Everyone seems to like quad DKs. They got back to me - they'll let me do the full scroll so server transfer.
I just have to decide (and fast) if I really want to leave the server I've been on since WOW launched in 2004 and a guild I've been with for 4 years.
I did the WotLK trial, bought Wrath when that ran out and am currently on the Cata trial. Sent a ticket off to Blizz and I'm really hoping they will let me use the scroll of res even though my account has been active.
My main accounts have a DK and rogue I'm trying to level (currently 60 and 63) so would be great to have some free level 80s and be able to do 5mans with those two. Plus I'm leveling my main team faster that expected at 70+ so not sure if I would be able to afford Cata for my 3 'trial' accounts, if I could get the scroll this would mean I could definitely be able to keep multi-boxing. Trying not to get too excited in case they turn my request down.
Can anyone confirm the following, please:
1. Can a newly resurrected account send a scroll?
2. If I send scrolls to my own accounts, will each inviting account receive a mount? (1 invites 2 invites 3, etc.)
A buddy invited me back, so my main is active. But I'd like to invite my 2nd account to get the mount on my main.
Okay, one more question. How are you guys inviting yourselves? I sent the scroll via "email" a day and half ago and I still haven't seen anything.
Do you just put a character's name on one of the alt accounts?
If anyone would like me to send them a couple i sure wouldnt mind helping you out :)
this would be the perfect time for people that has been wanting to transfer to a boxing guild/server to do so. i know i will when i get my new computer built and my accounts active
Question:
A friend sent me a scroll. He has various toons, horde/ alliance. However, the scroll says It's from his Alliance toon on [Whatever] Server. If I accept this scroll, is my only option to server transfer to his alliance side server? I think I would rather play horde on his server.
Just curious before I accept. If anyone has used the server transfer option yet from the scroll.
thanks,
acid
If your friend actually sent the SoR from a Horde character then Blizzard can fix that for you (this is happening to numerous people). If your friend sent it from an Alliance character then... you're stuck playing Alliance unless you call Blizzard and they're nice enough to make you Horde.
Who can send me a scroll. PM me
thanks for the info.
<3 the community :]

I have 3 words for you Blizzard.
DIE DIE DIE
Why do you tempt me again after I've quit you for what should be the last time?
** ooh shiny mounts.. oh and some free level 80's... ooh **
If anyone wants invites into <The Zerg> , please see this thread.
What's the best way to benefit 5 accounts?
Someone else > A1
A1 > A2
A2 > A3
A3 > A4
A4 > A5
only if you want them all to get the mount..well all of this except A5...
Correct. Then just use A5 to help someone else get started...
The thing is, this is what I attempted to do and it failed... pretty hard. I had to get Blizzard to fix a lot of stuff gone wrong. I recommend for a smooth transition, just call Blizz and let them know what you are going to do, and or walk you through it. One tiny oopsie, and you screw yourself until you can get blizzard to fix it for you.
And dont bother with in game tickets. (Average wait time is anywhere from 4 days to 22 days, depending on the server)
I did it all smoothly, 30minutes between activations waiting for emails :)
Gave myself 5 level 80 warlocks - but overwhelmed with the idea of learning to use them..
If you're Demo, pretend they're Hunters.
If you're Desto, they're traditional casters.
If you're Affliction, they're mobile casters.
You could spec one Affliction, for Unstable Affliction.
To protect the dots from the others.
Maybe one goes Destro, for the Replenishment & Shadowfury stun.
Then run the others as Demo, which gets Soul Link and pets.
Or run 2x whichever spec is your favorite and only 1x Demo.
If you stack your toons, you're vulnerable to melee cleave...
But will also destroy melee because of all the point-blank effects you have which overlap.
Any non-cleave that is stacked will fall fast.
Locks have a lot of dots, which can be fun to apply.
You have Fire & Shadow nukes.
Pet buffs/abilities.
Cheers Ualaa, but it doesn't look like I'll be renewing my accounts for now - just bored.
im still on RAF, 2 weeks left of it, tired, busy with main too raids, levelling sets, wanted some more easier, so I used scroll on 3 inactive accounts, and moved those 3 toons I got too instant 80 onto my active accounts, as I dont want too have an additional 3 accounts ontop of what I have.
Worked well :)
So to get the free 7 days do I have to setup a subscription or can I play for 7 days and then re-sub?
You get the free seven days without entering a subscription. I just did it myself to temporarily reactivate a slave to help me farm cloth to bring up another tailor. Used the free time and just let it expire.
Cool, so is it a once off that you can accept the scroll? Is there a cooldown. i.e. if I accept a scroll, play for 7 days but then a week or so later decide I want to re-sub, can I accept another scroll and get all the benefits, or is there a cooldown between how many times it can be accepted?
The scroll can only be accepted once from what I saw. As it stands right now, the one I used expired early yesterday morning, however, my slave account that I rezzed still has the rewards available for the transfer and insta-80. I don't know how long those will last or if I will get the mount if I add a subscription later. Someone else might have better information. I wasn't really concerned about the benefits, I just wanted a tailor along so I could get cloth faster :p
So if anyone has a scroll, could they PM me? Or is that against the terms of the forums?
One other question, can a burning crusade account perform a scroll of resurrection or does it have to be a Cataclysm account?
PM me if you still need a scroll sent. I haven't been using them every day and don't really care.
If you're worried about a BC account being able to perform it, have that account(let's assign it account A) get SoR'd. Then it will be Cata. It can SoR account B, which will be come Cata, and so on.
scroll is truely worth taking advantage of, while its present.
I used it on a few dead accounts, got some more instant 80s and then moved them to my main boxing accounts, and didnt sub to he dead accounts as I dont need them.
