A blue post appeared on the forums today from Blizzard Poster Nethaera. The post was regarding player's request for a faction change service that is now in development. Nethaera goes on to stress the work involved in making this happen in a fair and equal way for all World of Warcraft players. Then Nethaera hints at the possibility of this feature hitting the PTRs (Public Test Realms) soon. It is clear this service is very much in the development stages and it could be quite some time until we get this option, let alone hear more about it.
It is a service many Warcraft players have been waiting for. Blizzard already offers so many other services such as; paid name changes and paid character transfers. There is no word yet on how much, if anything, will this service cost and the requirements. I know I have always wondered what it would be like to just switch factions of my character. Not just that but, how would they determine what race turns into what? I could be an human Alliance member and switch to a Blood Elf of the Horde... Sounds like a great idea to let players have this but knowing Blizzard we won't see this for awhile.
