I’m aware this has been asked , but we still have not got any answer. Blizzard officially announced race/faction changes would be coming to wotlk to enable players to decide to play with friends. As the expansion has gone on, servers have been locked so it’s become even harder to play with friends in many situations. Bringing out the race/faction changes combined with the already available server transfers is a clear way of providing an opportunity for players who want to join their friends and are willing to get off a locked server to do so. The changes have been datamined on the PTR for this phase (phase 2), so obviously they are in the works. However, with the amount of prep that goes into setting your toons up for optimizing these changes and pre planning to play with friends, it really would be awesome to FINALLY get some solid clarification on timing from Blizz. If these aren’t coming till a much later phase, we deserve to know that so we are wasting time now setting up for these changes that seem to be teased for phase 2.
Agreed. It’s sad that there is zero communication on faction/race changes. Been waiting since the wrath launched to be able to play with some friends on Alliance
I hope they get around to it soon. Seems like they don’t want our money. I am ready for race change options.
What? You have some inside knowledge?
Anyone heard any news on this? I get people are pissed about it, but they don’t pay the $15 a month I pay to play my characters. I don’t have the time to level another character to 80 and I want to play with friends. Friends that I made after other friends convinced me to go alliance and abandon my horde server only to stop playing the game altogether. I made new friends and I’d like to move my 80 character to their server to play with them.
you’re not entitled to just switch your level 80s race/faction. this isn’t a fighter game. it’s an MMORPG, where you need to, you know, level.
yeah blizzard said they would add this but you’re just gonna have to be patient. it’s probably low priority
Exactly, atleast give us a time frame to atleast possible if its long enough we can just level a new char. But imagine you just dinged 80 on a new char and blizz opens up faction/race change. give us a timeline is all we ask
