How long does it take for the e-mail to be generated for the target of a Scroll of Resurrection?

Jeian, as Tandaa said, it shouldn’t take all that much time to be sent to the players registered e-mail address. Note; you can only send invitations through this program to someone who previously subscribed to World of Warcraft, also they much have 90 days passed on all paid subscription and played time in the game (this includes any previous time playing The Burning Crusade Trial).

Q u o t e:
Right... we're just wondering where the key is supposed to go. I assume it's to activate an account for the TBC trial, but the account in question is already upgraded to TBC... so my question is, is SoR only available for accounts that are not upgraded?


Sorry for the delay, Jeian, I was trying to make sure I gave you the correct answer here. :0)

After you type in your friend's e-mail address registered to the account that you wish to bring back (or character name and realm), they should receive an e-mail that looks something like this:

Q u o t e:
Your friend, <your name here>, has invited you to return to World of Warcraft for 10 Days FREE! Just click here to accept: <clicking that will link you to this URL: (https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/resurrect-a-friend-target.html?key=0388617208616990078761939)> this offer and receive your 10 FREE days. Act now, because this invitation will expire in 30 days. Here's a custom message from your friend:

<blank>

Clicking 'Accept' will take you to the login screen for the Account Management section of WorldofWarcraft.com. Once you log in, you'll be able to confirm that you'd like to accept this offer and receive your FREE 10 Days of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.

Please note that you'll need to have The Burning Crusade (as well as World of Warcraft) installed on your computer to experience the expansion content in conjunction with this offer. If you don't have the World of Warcraft or Burning Crusade game clients installed, you'll be able to download them FREE once you confirm your acceptance of this offer.

With this offer accepted and the game clients installed as discussed above, you're ready to start playing! We look forward to seeing you in Azeroth and Outland. In case you haven't been following the latest developments in World of Warcraft, here are a few of the features recently added to the game:

• Two Bold New Races - Whether embracing the mystical energies of the blood elves or unleashing the light-given power of the draenei, new realms of power and possibility await.
• The Black Temple - The overlord of Outland, Illidan the Betrayer, awaits players in the depths of a fallen temple of the draenei. The ultimate challenge awaits heroes brave enough to take on one of the darkest villains of the Warcraft universe.
• New Arena System - The Arenas of World of Warcraft give the most battle-hardened and cold-blooded fighters a place to compete against each other in gladiatorial battles for honor, glory, and power. Gather your allies, build your teams, and prepare to face off against formidable enemies (other players) in a race to claim the honor of being the highest ranked Arena Team on your realm.
• Thousands of New Quests - Exclamation points are everywhere! New quests will send you beyond the Dark Portal and into the shattered world of Outland to discover the dark fate of its denizens. Advance to level 70 with the new expansion content, gaining powerful new talents and abilities along the way.
• And much more! Click here: <clicking there will link you to this URL: (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/)> to view the latest content added to World of Warcraft.

Accept <clicking here will link you to the following URL: (https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/resurrect-a-friend-target.html?key=0388617208616990078761939)>


Upon clicking the link at the top, or the Acceptance link at the bottom of that e-mail, your friend will be forwarded to the Scroll of Resurrection Confirmation Page, which says something along the lines of:

Welcome back to World of Warcraft! There are a few things you need to know before you resurrect your account and receive your FREE 10 Days:

• To keep playing once the trial period ends, you will need to reactivate your subscription. You can do so by logging in to Account Management.
• This trial period is only available to you ONCE. Your 10-Day Trial period begins once you click "Confirm" below.
• Once you upgrade your account to the Burning Crusade Trial, please be aware that you will need to download and install The Burning Crusade client before you can log into World of Warcraft. You will not be able to log in without a Burning Crusade client during the trial period.
• The download and installation process can sometimes take a while to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
• Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions: (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20592) for more information.

Followed by a large button in the middle that says Confirm. After that, your friend should see a listing of system requirements, and a link where he would be able to download The Burning Crusade, if he did not already have it.


Once your friend has selected confirm from that page, you will be sent onto a new page that should say Success! and have a green box with the following information:

Q u o t e:
This account is now enabled to try The Burning Crusade for 10 days FREE, starting right now. If you do not already have The Burning Crusade client installed, you will need to do so by clicking on the appropriate button below:

Welcome back to World of Warcraft! Our records show that you do not currently have an active subscription to the game. To keep playing once your trial period ends, you will need to reactivate your subscription. You can do so by logging in to Account Management here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account.


At this point, your friend’s account should then be able to log into the game, regardless of whether or not he had The Burning Crusade expansion already installed, and his account had already been upgraded.

I know this is a lot of information thrown at you to give you an answer, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible. I really hope this helps, Jeian. :0)
