Goulet wants you to come back to World of Warcraft® and included this message:
"Remember the good times in WoW?
I do, so it's time to come back!"

Upon your return you'll receive:
• A character boost to level 80
• FREE upgrade to Cataclysm
Plus:
• Seven Days of FREE Game Time.
• A FREE Transfer to your friend's realm.
• A FREE Faction Change to your friend's faction.
You may need to re-install World of Warcraft, which has been made much faster with a new streamlined game client.
• Download the game client after you accept the invitation.
• See updated game guides for World of Warcraft.

I emailed my friend who this mentioned (Goulet) laughing at the rediculous of the email (since I thought it was a scam) and he responded with:

"There is a new button they put on your friends list that lets you send someone a scroll of resurrection so I sent it to you today. Goulet is my little Rogue."



This is just a bit nuts isnt it? Just curious if any of you heard about this. Perhaps since Blizzard has seen my 6+ year Wow account dormant for 4-5 months they allow these deals? Meh.

it was from noreply@blizzard.com

Judging by a comment in the Ghost Mount thread and also Adam's post quoting MMOChamp, it is until proven to myself otherwise, completely legit. When i saw it i was like YAAAY cause it gives my bf even more of a reason to try out WoW once more other then to help me get one of the ghost mounts-- if that is that the ghost mounts are tied to the scroll of ressurection (hasnt been confirmed yet to my knowledge)

If I could use this on one of the long inactive accounts on my battlenet, I might be tempted to start dual boxing again.

oh wow the Ghost Mounts may be tied to them? Xakaal, you've made me happy to wait a bit longer till thats confirmed. Heck I would come back for a month if I could fly around on a Ghost Gryphon and get a free realm and faction transfer.

The ghost mounts are definitely tied to the scroll of resurrection. Still waiting for my bf to do the last step so I can get my spectral windrider.

Oh found a article today on it:

Notes:
*you’ll be able to jump straight to level 80 on a character*

Thats nuts, thats the main reason I thought it was fake at first.

Funny quote from that article:

For people that have been out of the game for a while, this looks like a mighty tempting offer. Hell, I haven’t played in more than two years, and part of me wants to use this, just for all of the free shit. Then I remember how long I’ve been sober, and how I really don’t want to travel down that dark road again. Sorry Blizzard, you can throw free levels, mounts and more at your players, but at the end of the day, WoW is still WoW.
