Scroll of Resurrection: How to make an epic comeback in Azeroth

Yesterday a friend asked me if I've read about the Scroll of Resurrection promotion of World of Warcraft EU. I've told her I've been contemplating to come back to World of Warcraft for some casual gaming, since I could play with some friends and have some fun time for myself exploring the game. I've been waiting however to get some more time on my hands, as I wouldn't be able to play much, but for this promotion I'm willing to make a small exception.

I've seen a notice about the Scroll of Resurrection pass my mailbox before, but I just thought it was a normal promotion to come back with a bit of gametime on the side... Turns out they're doing one heck of a stunt. After reading the link my friend gave me, I saw there were a lot of benefits I just couldn't ignore. A free boost of one character to level 80 AND a free character transfer AND a free faction change? Hell yes.

I've read there were a lot of issues on the forums however with people who were unable to do all of these things, but so far I don't have any problems. So, especially for you people (and people who are interested of course): here's a guide to set up your character with a scroll of Resurrection. ;)

Pokémon Special: Global Link continued

It's been a while since I wrote an article about various aspects of the Pokémon Global Link and the Dream World. Now that I have played some more, I've discovered a few interesting things I'd like to share as I wasn't that thorough on some parts last time. The Pokémon Global Link has so many things to offer that I'll probably forget some things again but I'll try my best! Also, I might update my previous post about it with more and cleaner pictures. :)

Pokémon Global Link and the Dream World

A few days ago I got an e-mail in my inbox with a notice that the Pokémon Global Link had been launched. Eager to check it out I made myself an account and after surfing the site for a few hours I can say I was literally godsmacked!

Pokémon Global Link is an online (and not to mention free!) service for Pokémon fans around the world. By connecting your copy of Pokémon Black or Pokémon White to the Pokémon Global Link you can tuck in one of the Pokémon in your game and make it appear in the Pokémon Dream World online, where it can befriend Pokémon, grow Berries, collect items... and the most beautiful part, bring them back to your game! You can also check out the Global Battle Union where your online battle stats are kept and play mini-games for Trainer Tokens, which you can you use to buy items for your avatar.

To enter the Dream World the only thing you need is a Pokémon Trainer Club account, a copy of Pokémon Black or Pokémon White and a wireless internet connection. When you've secured those things you can login to the Pokémon Global Link and the fun can start!
