Is Race/faction change still planned?

[Nubson-area-52]

Haven’t heard much on blizzard’s front about race/faction change, is it still planned? Any eta announced?

I got a huge feeling they are being hush so dragonflight hype stays hype. Once it kinda dies down (like it will) they will announce WOTLK FACTION CHANGE! RACE CHANGE! Unlocking of servers and SERVER TRANSFERS! It’s money on the table and knowing Blizz they want all of it

I haven’t seen any ETA, but as far as I know, they are still planning on releasing this in a future patch…

Race and Faction Change

While it won’t be ready for our launch in September, we have changed our minds on this, and we’re working on adding the Race and Faction change as a paid service in a future patch.

Originally, we planned not to offer Race and Faction change at all, because it felt like it removed some of that fantasy feeling of having dramatically different physical attributes that affect your gameplay. We were also a little worried about players chasing the “flavor of the month” in terms of racial abilities However, we’re convinced by the argument that being able to play with your friends is more important, and that you should be able to bring your accomplishments with you when you do. This turns out to be the same tradeoff provided by transferring between realms, which is already available as a paid service, so it makes sense to make the same decision with respect to Race and Faction change.

In short, this fits our aim to nurture and protect social experiences, so we’ll work on it for an upcoming patch.

Pretty sure it was live on the Ulduar ptr last week from what my guildies reported.

I didn’t know store related stuff showed up on PTR. I asked my guildies and they said they haven’t seen anything. Still, I really hope you’re right and they’re wrong! I’m sooooo ready to transfer my shammy already!
