Faction change service whaaaaaattt?

[shaeman]

This is great news.

I miss my 70/71 horde hunter and warlock but not quite enough to try and level Alliance versions.
If the faction transfer allows you to do so regardless of level that would be wonderful. Otherwise I'll have to spend some time levelling them.

Of course I'm hoping it's not going to take months and months for them to get it working.

As far as the PvP realm rules only allowing one faction, I imagine they'd change this rule or add in exceptions. Best I could figure they'd do, is make it a 'Paid transfer', let us turn traitor to our own faction. Any rep with faction cities like SW, IF, Exo, and Darn, would be lost and turn to "At War' status and "Neutral" with the Horde equivalent. Cross factions like Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Shattrath, and the such would probably stay where they are since both sides can do the same quests. They could just add more achievements for us to do and still let us keep the ones we complete, just to add to the game. Ones such as the "# of quests completed on Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdom" would count toward both sides. Maybe even add to these numbers or add another achievement in this line. Or just change the names of them "# of quests on Kalimdor for Horde/Alliance'. Something to that effect would work. Mechanics would probably be tricky anyway, but doable. Once you turn against your own faction, they could grant us a title and achievement to reward/brand us. We'd be able to keep all our racials abilities we have, not change up too much of the mechanics of the game and allow us to walk around in opposing capital cities as the toons we've created. Imagine, Gnomes flooding ThunderBluff, Orcs/Undead in SW, and Trolls in IF accepting quests and using the bank/AH.

o wow, i was catching up with some mates at a bbq the other day and they all play alliance and i play horde, this just seals the deal for me
they never cease to amaze do they
with regards to things that cant be transferred over
think of anything you have that the opposing faction doesn't have access too
and those are the things that will be lost
faction mounts etc
i'd say all argent rep will be lost and have to be done again, as well as pvp faction rep,
unless they figure out a way to transfer that over
i cant imagine how as can you really compare each opposing race and tell which is its opposite?
i hope they dont take too much away from you.
this is realy cool tho, i havn't played alliance for years i wonder whats changed

Sounds awesome, but I probably won't switch sides cause I don't feel like wasting even more cash on faction changes for all (or most) of my toons. Even though I'd really like to try some raids with another boxer... :(

Blizz.....

opening up everything to hang onto existing players.

You watch over the next twelve months as the game gets opened up to complete casual content and welfare epix.

It will happen.

Calling it now - paid equipment upgrades.

just kidding. I find this change awesome and scary at the same time. I now no longer need to level another set of shaman. WOOT.

After all these years we are gonna be able to change our toons to whichever faction we want.

Yeah, if I would have known this was coming, I could have stayed with my 15 geared epic flying level 70 alliance toons and not made 20 epically geared, epic flying level 80 horde toons from scratch.

Ah well, the journey has been fun. At least RAF made it very efficient.
