"World of Warcraft recently revamped its free trial to be an endless experience up to character level 20. Various restrictions apply, and the new promotion is known officially as the World of Warcraft Starter Edition. "

One of those restrictions is that it's only available in the US. In Europe, we still have to make do with a 10 day trial. Still, given the way the game and community have continued on a downward spiral since The Burning Crusade, you're not missing out on much.

Updating now... having taken a 4 month break, the lure of a legendary caster item (finally!) has won me back.

@darkmorgado: I'm afraid building the legendary staff might be hard for you if you're just coming back from a long break.

It�ll be all but impossible. You�ll need the help of a well geared and progressed raiding guild, that are willing to work pretty damn hard as a group towards earning you a staff, and passing over all the other casters in the guild.

One lucky caster? So it's completely unique and everyone else in the world can piss off?

I mainly look forward to the dailies. Can't be bothered with raiding rage.
