SoR Scroll of Resurrection Requests and Invites

SoR Scroll of Resurrection Requests and Invites

With Blizzards new SoR (Scroll of Resurrection) in place, there are quite a few more players returning with a "free" level 80, a week free gametime, and a "free server/faction change to YOUR server. The "referrer" gets a sparkly mount (Spectral Wind Rider (H) or Spectral Griffin (A) for doing so. In case you were looking for a spot where subscribers and [non]subscribers reside, look no further.

Blizz is so determined to assist in this process that they set up a page on the battlenet forums to help in doing so:

Scroll of Resurrection Requests (Sticky)

As you can see, there are quite a few pages of folks that have done this already. A few options I have read up on are:

* If you want this to happen quickly, upon contact with your SoR invite, to get your mount faster, purchase them a Time Card at the BlizzStore.

* You can only send out one two "invitations" per day.
EDIT- One per in-game and one on battle.net

* Upon your SoR being completed (purchased gametime) you will get your mount via in game mail:

I am lopsided on this, but it seems that Blizz is doing their part to get more playing. Since Q1 is ending, they are boosting their subscription numbers to help their bottom line and keep their investors happy. I understand this.

My small complaint is blizz took away the "achievement" pets for logging in on Blizzs b-day, but adding the ability to purchase via battlenet store. Now, they are more prone to giving items to people that havent played before (RaF) and existing players that have quit the game (SoR).

Business shows that the happy people (those that keep a subscription) arent as needy as the disgruntled folks (i.e quitters). Once a quitter, always a quitter. As stated above, they are just boosting numbers.

Why not have positives for the consistent? I enjoy the game, will probably have a lifetime subscription (give or take) and will continue to play either way. But you know what? A little bonus here or there for just being me would be nice. Throw us a bone without making us do anything. Greedy? Sure.

Look at Marlboro, a product that is known to kill people. They have you addicted already, have no need to give freebies, yet they send me coupons every month. The have loyalty programs that give me something in my mail for my birthday every year. They have giveaways and promotions nearly every month on their website. I have a recurring subscription with them too. A pack a day. And they know at any time I can switch to another company. So they give perks to keep me. Until I quit smoking, they will have my business.

Wow? They take 16 bucks a month. I am addicted to playing. Loyalty programs? Nope. Birthday gift? Nope. Promotions? Sure, if I buy something extra. Giveaways? Only if I do extra (see RaF and SoR). Can I quit and play something else? Sure. But I really havent. Yet....

Yes. I did just compare WoW to smoking. Hate me.

Alto.
