SO… do returning players get ANYTHING now? I don’t get a free month to give it a try? I could care less about all the toys, the hearthstone, etc.
You can play any character on retail that is level 20 or lower without a subscription.
Other than that, I don’t believe that there are any other promotions.

There’s the Recruit-a-Friend feature, if you’d been away at least 24 months. Though, that system is designed to reward the long-term player rather than the returner.
There’s also the Gear Update system, but it will wipe your quest log, quest items, shuffle your toolbar around, and put all your gear in the mailbox to collect. You do get a green set of correct-level equipment though.

Just a minor correction: you can choose to wipe your quest log or not. I don’t believe it was an option when it was first introduced, but it was changed.
