You should qualify for a scroll of resurrection. With that you get a free lvl 80 ,upgrade to cata, and 7 days trial that should keep you going for a while. then mists upgrade is only $10 , or was recently. Taking the trial kills the SOR date. ( I am pretty sure ) You will find a full installation is huge, 27 gig or so. Try and get a copy from someone then just delete the addons and wtf contents to make it your own. You will also need to create a baatlenet account, once that is done and you are at a browser anyway may as well ask on the sor forum for a scroll. A lot has changed , actually almost EVERYTHING has changed so I won't say much apart from *levelling is a rocketroad.. For levelling get some of the heirlooms. If you don't have those you can get xp gear and guild xp increase guild exp gear for , 1k?? Also a banner that adds even more xp. You could probably do 70-80 in a day if you tried. 1k gold is not a lot now. Ah prices have inflated. stacks of the lvl 85 ore are 50g/20 even though you can't fly 100 metres without finding a node :-) *mounts and some gear is account wide, glyphs are a one-time purchase. join a lvl 25 guild and get a lot of other perks,faster travel, more loot and profession increase, mass party res, lots more. Doesn't have to be a lvl 25, just get one with max xp increases.
