Blizzard today announced that they are sweetening the pot for people who used to play World of Warcraft and are a hairs’ breadth from coming back to Azeroth.

The new Scroll of Resurrection allows existing players to invite old friends back. The returning player gets some pretty significant benefits:

A single character immediately boosted all the way to level 80

A FREE upgrade to Cataclysm—someone who hasn’t played since the original release would receive all of the game’s content for free, including the Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions

An optional FREE character move and faction change—to the inviter’s realm and faction, making it easy to join old friends in the adventure

7 FREE days of game time—available immediately upon accepting

After 30 days of play time, existing players who use the Scroll to bring a friend back get a free mount: Spectral Gryphon for Alliance or Spectral Wind Rider for Horde.

Existing players can cast the Scroll of Resurrection at this page.
