]]> One of the biggest announcements in all WoW history was made this week concerning a paid service to be able to switch your WoW character’s faction. Once this is made available, Horde players will be able to switch to the Alliance and vice-versa. Players will not keep their race in the faction switch as some people were thinking. instead you will have to switch a race in the opposing faction that carries your class. Therefore you’ll never see a Human Paladin turn into a Tauren Paladin.

According to CM Nethaera, while cross faction transfers are going to be allowed, inter-faction race switching will not be allowed. This is a bit shocking for me since logically switching races within your faction is a smaller step than crossing over to the other faction. I remember reading their justification (can’t seem to find it anymore) went something like this. Making a mistake on faction choice is a more forgivable mistake than a mistake on racial choice.

It’s definitely sad that we won’t be able to switch races between our faction. I know several people who would have wanted to change races. Even I was thinking of changing my Blood Elf warlock to an Orc. Who knows though? If they’re allowing faction switching already, it just might take a little time before they give in to inter-faction race switching.
