Faction-Change Service in the Works, PTR Build 10048

[Fuzzypeach]

Hmmm wasn't expecting this change. I doubt I would ever use it, I just want to be able to change races....I would cough up $15 for that no problem :P

Just need Gnomes to have Priests and all is right with the World!

M'kay, so now has i bought new account, lvled two new characters of the same class to 80 for no need? well that's just great.

But if I do "Fation change" at one of my characters, what happends to the other ones that're on the same realm? Will i have both alliance and horde at the same PvP realm at same account? o_0

They would have to implement restrictions of either forcing you to delete the other characters, or faction change them as well.

One concern I see is how this change would affect the more imbalanced servers, such as Silvermoon - EU. They would most likely have to implement one way restrictions to prevent H -> A changes to prevent that server from being completely one-sided.

The big question is, do we get to pick the race?

I have an 80 gnome shelved and a level 20 orc of the same class. It'd save me leveling him, but I don't really want an 80 undead/blood elf lock.

Of course, then I have to wonder what the cooldown/restrictions on it would be to prevent it just being a change-your-race fee - because I have a hunter that I wouldn't mind seeing not-taurenized.

My guess is that you will not be allowed to do it on a PvP realm, if you have more characters there. Although it's possible to have both Horde and Alliance on the same PvP realm if a GM screw up :P

fuckyou very much blizzard

i've rerolled 3 times now due to faction/ guilds

[Direknyte]

I think it depends on implementation.
If they are going to let you keep your models...

Have Tauren in the Alliance or Humans in the Horde... I think that would be really really REALLY cool.

But if they are going to make your gnome become a Blood elf or something....

Nah, not so much.

R.I.P Alliance

Idk about that- alliance racials are extremely powerful + my GF and I have both considered rerolling alliance

so now (since this probly wont be available for pvp servers) we can xfer 2 of our chars to another server and then go alliance, free 80 alliance for 40$ (assuming 25 for xfer and 15 for faction change)

WAT

[Ascal]

[Zelimagi]

Interresting thing really, If im a human mage there are several possible horde races available, Troll, Undead, Blood Elf all can be mages, but for my Human Paladin theres only one choice. Would be strange if they forced my Human Mage and Paladin to Blood Elves but my human warrior to an Orc.

[Sharped]

o'lol ill go apply to ensida right away then, dorf = no more!

[Critterbot]

oh yeah there are some ppl that I wanna gank sooo much, and rolling a horde char havent been an option since I play on a PvP realm, but now it seems like it would finaly be possible meheheheh ;D

oh and about that alliance will all go horde thing, I dont think so. Many (including me) is very loyal to their faction (imo) and would'nt ever want to change no matter how low its average age gets :P

[neck deep]

they just fucked the shit out of gem transmutes.

back to selling all the forest emeralds i just bought

[Izuria]

They should have waited to publish this message .. "Very early" really is early when a Blizzard-GM speaks

[Absolutíon]

Time to quit the game, can't be arsed with Blizzard anymore.

[kailtas]
