Faction-Change Service - Q&A
<font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b>Faction-Change Service - Q&A</b></font><br />The Faction-Change announcement has been updated with a Q&A<br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from: <b>Nethaera (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/18031079410-factionchange-service-in-the-works.html" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</span></b></div><div class="blizzquote">We wanted to give everyone a very early heads-up that, in response to player requests, we’re developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance. There’s still much work to do and many details to iron out, but the basic idea is that players will be able to use the service to transform an existing character into a roughly equivalent character of the opposing faction on the same realm. Players who ended up creating and leveling up characters on the opposite factions from their friends have been asking for this type of functionality for some time, and we’re pleased to be getting closer to being able to deliver it.<br /><br />As with all of the features and services we offer, we intend to incorporate the faction-change service in a way that won’t disrupt the gameplay experience on the realms, and there will be some rules involved with when and how the service can be used. The number of variables involved increases the complexity of implementing this service, but we plan to take the time needed to ensure that it lives up to expectations before officially rolling it out. We’ll go into much more detail on all of this here at <a href="http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com</span></a> as development progresses. In the meantime, we wanted to let you know that because this type of functionality requires extensive internal testing well in advance of release, you may be seeing bits and pieces of the service in the test builds we use for the public test realms moving forward.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Updated 7/1</b></span><br />Due to the many questions that have come up with the announcement of this new service, we wanted to take the time to answer the ones we can at this point in time.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Q. Will we be able to switch between the races on our own faction?</b></span><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>A. </b></span>No. Players will only be able to switch to a race of the opposite faction.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Q. Will I be able to choose the race on the opposite faction that I want to change to?</b></span><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>A. </b></span>Yes, but you will only be able to switch to a race that has your class type available to it. So if you play a human paladin, you’d only be able to change to a blood elf paladin.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Q. How much will it cost?</b></span><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>A. </b></span>We do not have further information on this at this point in time.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Q. Will I be able to switch back to my original faction but a different race?</b></span><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>A. </b></span>No. You will only be able to switch back to your originally chosen race.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Q. How will the switch between reputation, gear, mounts, etc be handled?</b></span><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>A. </b></span>We’ll have more details for you at a later point in time, though we plan to keep these as close to a reflection of the other faction as much as possible.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Q. How often can you change your faction?</b></span><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>A. </b></span>We do not have any information to share on this at this point in time, however we will have restrictions on the frequency by which players can change their faction.<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Q. How will this affect the balance of Horde and Alliance on the realms?</b></span><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>A. </b></span>We are taking great care in how we implement this new service in order to maintain balance between the factions on the realms but do not have any further details to share. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div>
