Faction Transfer Now Live

[Svpernova09]

The new World of Warcraft Faction Change service is now live. As we mentioned previously, [ http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...31079410&sid=1 ] we’ve been in the process of developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance for a fee. After purchasing a Faction Change for a character, a player can choose any race of the opposite faction that is compatible with the character’s class. For more information on the Faction Change service, please read the FAQ, [ http://us.blizzard.com/support/artic...n_US&tag=FCFAQ ] or visit the Faction Change page [ https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/acco...nge-intro.html ] to get started.

Based on further community feedback, we have also decided to offer a race change service in the future. Players who choose to switch races will be able to change their race within their same faction and class. Additional details will be released at a future date.

MMO-C has lots of details http://www.mmo-champion.com/

For now, it's only available for the US...

Unfortunatly EU players are yet to have this

Will PvP realm restrictions prevent me from changing a character's faction?
No. PvP realms no longer possess any faction-based restrictions. You may now play Horde and Alliance characters on any realm you wish.


Wow.

[Ogloo]

Not sure I can see myself spending 150 to move a team. That's almost a new ssd or some other new toy for my computer hehe.

The itch is returning...
Edit: and it's fading.

$30 a toon. Uh.. no.

ugh...I was tempted to transfer my 62 priest and 4 62 locks to alliance on Bonechewer to play with Gitcho or something. $150 is a lot of beer/gas/hookers.

I am moving my horde shaman and paladin to alliance as we speak =)


Ah poop you gotta be logged out for 20mins prior to the change!

just FYI to save some people heartache:

Dont log your accounts in for 20 mins before trying transfer and make sure no one has anything in AH or mail. You will NOT be able to play those specific characters until the transfer is enabled, says that it could be up to days, but when I tried to log in it told me to wait 30 mins for faction transfer to enable.

More money will be coming in to Blizzard. Nicely done indeed

I am moving my horde shaman and paladin to alliance as we speak =).

O.o

Gasp, shudder - have fun with the kiddies and get used to losing AV

Keep us informed about the transition, like how does the Ally shaman compare to the horde playwise.
