I just learned about this today as well. I guess my dreanei will have to sit in Aerie Peaks a little longer and it SUCKS.

@Deyadissa: Other race/class combinations will be available to all players once the shattering of Azeroth takes place shortly before the release of Cataclysm.

I can quote blues too.

And before you say "nuh uh", read the context of the thread, which at that point was entirely about paid race changes.

I was confused by exactly that quote. And today I found out that I won't be able to be a holy cow and just kind of stumped...

No big deal to me. I'm looking forward to leveling in the changed zones.

You forgot the option "I don't care". I'll be unlikely to change any of my characters to the new race/class combinations anyway, unless I change my mind further down the road. The only thing I'll be changing is my night elf hunter to a troll.

[Wildstaff]

your poll has horrible choices. why don't we get a who the hell cares, you'll race change when you race change option

So apparently blizz agrees that this arbitrary limitation makes absolutely no sense at all:

"How about race and faction changes? Will I be able to change my Mage from Human to Dwarf right whne it comes out? Or will we have to wait a certain period of time before the new race options become available?

TC: They'll be able to do that right away. So for any of the combos that are available, we currently expect players to be able to do the race change into those as soon as The Shattering happens."

First page, The interview with Tom Chilton.
Isn't the Shattering patch 4.0.3a?

yeah, but the blues weren't really sure themselves. yesterday a blue poster said that paid race change to dwarf mages f.e. would only be available once cata hits.

Make a habit out of NOT reading any further into threads with Blue posts? The posts you quoted were from over a week ago and most have known since then that they were available with 4.0.3a. That thread also stated that the combos were available to create but not paid service change. They were confirmed today and yesterday to be available for paid race change with the Shattering patch.

So recap: 4.0.3a later today means you CAN create AND pay to have one of the new class/race combos EXCEPT for Goblins and Worgens. You never had to wait until Cata to create one and it's been confirmed that you don't have to wait to change one either now.

/end thread.

As Cerus states above, a later post in that thread (specifically this one) confirms you can now do a paid race change instantly, come 4.0.3a. So, after the patch rolls around, you can change to or make a new character of any of the viable race/class combos. Except Goblins and Worgen of course.

I believe that update to the post was due to the update in the interview posted on the front page here yesterday afternoon or the other way around - either way it was confirmed in fact twice
