WoW Race Changes Confirmed!

[Tarack]

I hate gay purple elfs i need to fanction change ASAP

[Errage]

"Confirmed" Where?

If you're gonna say it's confirmed, link to where it's confirmed, or at least hint towards how, all you told us is that there's gonna be race changes- Without any actual proof of confirmation, you could just be continuing a rumour ;o

Can I use this service to change race on my existing faction?

No. We will be releasing a Race Change service in the near future for this purpose.

[Kykyske]

Race changes do exist. The race change allows you to change races, be it alliance to alliance, horde to horde, horde to alliance, alliance to horde, whatever. Someone I was talking to yesterday on my realm just switched from a human warlock to an undead warlock. He had the Black AQ War Bug, which was pretty cool. Anyways point being is that, although some comments above me stated that this is only faction changes, which wouldn't make sense (lol Horde Draenei), it simply allows you to change to any race. (Which excludes the races which can't be your class [Sorry druids :<]) So yeah, that should clear things up.

And yes, to the guys above, race changes are currently available as of last Tuesday.

Lol, I suppose you do have a point. DIRECT changes from like Draenei Warrior --> Human Warrior don't exist yet.

Race changes on opposing faction... yes, $30 USD.

If you want to change races WITHIN you're own faction, you'll have to wait 60 days and pay twice as much, $60 USD.

The cost of going Draenei Warrior --> Orc Warrior (for example) $30 USD.
60 days later... Orc Warrior --> Human Warrior $30 USD
Total Cost: ~$60 USD

For now that might be true. But when they actually make the race changes available you could go from human to nelf and visa versa without having to faction change.

[Mitnick]

well i am pretty sure they will disable racials in arena becouse of this change.

No, if you change back to your original faction you will return to your original race for now. You'd still be a Draenei and wasted $60.

[Baneh]

No quattro, you could pick a Human going back. Blizzard even says so in their Faction Change FAQ. : )

When I change factions, can I select any race for the character?

You may select any race of the new faction provided that it is available for the character's class.


Does that mean I can use this service to change the character back to its original faction?

Absolutely; however, this will require purchasing another Faction Change.


When I change a character back to its original faction, can I select any new race?

Yes. As noted previously, though, you will only be able to select a race that is available to the character's class.

Wonder if they will allow you to switch races to something that doesn't have your class.. IE; going from a nelf hunter to a human...

Nah, never I think. Though Nelf Hunter to Human Hunter will be possible with WoW Cataclysm because of the new class combinations. ;P
