World of Warcraft → Character Boost to 90 = $60.00

Seems the servers were up for a few minutes and people got screenshots

now don't hate me if it ends up being untrue.

seems a tad high but after just getting to 90 on now my 4th healer....ya my panda's getting a boost so I can have 5 healers

Seems about right, a server and faction change is $55. Probably the same rules as the original DK ones, have to have a level 90 already to be eligible for the service.

Wonder if they boost professions, or would you have to level those up?

If it is level 60 or higher than your two main profs will be maxed at 600 as well as First Aid. (at least that is the way it was on PTR)

If that is true, may be worth leveling a char to 60 and then boosting. If I remember getting to 60 doesn't take too long as you can mostly run dungeons quests. Maybe 18 hours of played?

Well, paying $60 to boost a "new" toon (say, level 20 or lower) doesn't seem that bad. It seems pretty pricey if I have a higher-level character (for instance, my L69 shaman) that I might want to boost. It would be nice if they had some kind of a sliding scale for the fee, so that you pay less if you're skipping fewer levels (i.e. "pay $0.80 per level skipped"). An arrangement like that might actually lead to MORE cash in Blizzard's coffers, since many people would take advantage of the boost that otherwise wouldn't dream of dropping $60... say, someone with a L80 rogue who CANNOT STAND the thought of stepping foot in Vash'jir or Mount Hyjal ever again, (or Deepholm, or Uldum, or Twilight Highlands, or any of the Pandaria zones), might be willing to pay $8 for the ability to skip those last 10 levels, but NO WAY would they fork over $60. I would bet that there are PLENTY of alts out there who are stalled somewhere in the L55-L85 range that would take advantage of a boost, if the cost were scaled to the number of levels being skipped.

seems they have removed the option now....hmmm

probably something only really meant for Asian markets.

pre-ordering the next expo = free 90. i'm fine with that, much easier to swallow than the wow for one year and then diablo for free.

no they already confirmed its going live come 6.0 but was hoping sooner

didn't they just post something, I believe it's in the daily RSS that gets posted here in the WoW forums, that it's set to go in 5.4 but not this week?

Yeah, perhaps my topic was invisible or something. I will ask a mod to delete it after this.Doubtful. Players already have figured out that by repurchasing a new game + xpac they get a free 90, then a transfer fee = the same service they are offering with less hassle.

At $60 I think Blizz has looked at the absolute highest amount they could charge for this service before players say no, still on the fence about it, but probably not a bad idea so long as the account has at least 1 lvl 90 on it first, otherwise LFR is about to get WAAAAY worse than it already is.

Agreed. I know for some of the factions in MOP, once you hit exalted you can buy a "spell" that lets all your other toons earn rep at a faster rate.
I kinda wish they would sell a "level" booster per each lev 90 you have now.
1 lev 90 = 10% XP boost in leveling.
2 lev 90 = 20%
3 lev 90 = a 30%

Maybe cap it at 3 or 40 90s. [If leveled the "hard way"]. Toons that are "jumped to 90 don't grant an XP boost.

Or maybe coming with the next expansion. Code be they are writing that code in the game now, for test purposes.

Since I level my toons as a set this wouldn't be a benefit to me. That and I'm too cheap to pay for it, unless it was in game gold like the rep bonus. Additionally I'd need it to be account wide, like the rep. At least my off faction would get the bonus for all. I have enjoyed Blizzard making alts a viable option in this expansion.
