Faction Transfer Now Live

[Saithe]

I saw somebody asked about the Argent Tournament. They said in the FAQ that they would be unable to transfer the Tournament Achievements, so I believe that means they probably reset everything relating to it.

Took a long time to transfer my Hunter if anybody else is waiting for theirs. I started it last night and this morning it still hadn't given me the "Switch Faction" button, but when I got my lunch break it had finally gone through. The one downfall I hadn't thought through about going Dwarf was having to ride on a freaking goat until I can get a real ground mount...

Thanks for that. just thought it was weird I kept my seals, and squire pet. I guess it would get a little complicated trying to move all those dailies around.

edit: by seal I mean champion seal. BUT, I also kept the 9 Valiant Seals also - that was the 9 going towards my last faction dailies. Oh well Once I get through the first part, money will be money.

Heh. Just got a new hat last night and wanted to fly out to Shadow Hold to get my dps enchant for it. Weird, I don't have the flight path. Oh well I'll just fly there from tourney grounds on my flier.

Oh weird, it's all full of hostile mobs. I have to do my entire Ebon Blade **AND** Argent Crusade questlines in Icecrown all over again! I didn't lose any rep, I didn't lose my "140 quests in Icecrown" achievement, but now I get FREE REP and FREE GOLD to do all those questlines over again

Heck, I still have a couple of the reward items from those quests in my bank...some are enchanted, I hope they're not "unique" and I won't be able to finish the quest until I DE or vendor the reward item I have.

Oh also weird, just checked out my questing achievements. I was well over 2000 quests before, hadn't hit 3000 yet. They didn't strip my 2000 quest achievement but my progress towards 3000 shows they've stripped me of well over 1000 quests complete, I'm down by about 1500...

I'd wager they removed all the [faction only] quests and now you have an opportunity to go back and get all the faction quests for your new faction.

I am strongly considering doing this - however I have some concerns:

I am a Crusader. I dont want to lose my title or access to my 9 awesome quests that make me lots of Gold. What happens to this stuff?

I dont want to have to do 25 lots of Valiants quests all over again - I think I would kill myself.

OK found my answer on MMO champion. Hmmm that hurts alot.

If you are done, may i ask how many hours you needed to do this all over again? I'm gonna transfer my 4x Draenei for big fat cows ASAP when EU allows it.

Edit: Read some more, and i really gotta ask. Is boxing 4 tauren really that bad? Are they to big? My shamans will be standing in the background all the time, with my paladin infront tanking.
