Maybe I'll transfer my mage to my horde server and actually level it plus get the 6k gold I have sitting on there.

I have to admit I always have wet dreams about this going live but when I saw the post that this was actually under development, I was kinda scared.

I Can't really see much good coming from it tbh. Except for BLizzard ofcourse, whom will probably price this at another 20 euro's and make tons.

I think I can expect the alliance population to plummet. Not excited about this, at all.

It would be sick if there was a faction betrayal quest chain you gotta do upon paying for the service. Horde Gnomes lol.

Well, I think that with the faction change you also need to change race.
There would be no Horde Night Elf Druids, but instead they would need to change to Tauren NE Druids.

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.

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 http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com 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.

Knowing blizzard, that's not comforting at all.

This could be really awesome, or REALLY horrible. unfortunatly im gonna guess horribly

what i see getting the most farked up, are the battlegroups. pvprs might switch sides if they dont ever win which would only stack sides worse...

Think you can get up to Honored with Sons of Hodir in just a day thanks to that.

Oh yeah, but it will probably cost ~$30 to switch faction and then you would probably get a few months delay before you can switch back for another ~$30.

I think if they made it so you could only switch factions once, on a limited number of characters, or once a year it would be alright. I have a friend who would play with us, but his mage is alliance and he doesn't want to have to regrind to 80 on horde side. But I don't think this is going to produce the massive amounts of switching or OMGWTF destroy balance. I would think most people would be pretty comfortable on their servers with their guildmates etc.

Well they're gonna make it so if you swap from alliance to horde then back to alliance, you can't change alliance race, so people won't be abusing it to change racials.

Apparently they're planning to change the troll racial. 20% haste on active for X seconds and Y CD.
Which equals to a free icy veins for troll wiz.

Stupid belf mage that I have.

That's good, that would be a huge PITA. I really hope they put some strict time constraints on this, I really don't want to have to deal with faction swappers on a regular basis.
