I pretty much agree with Hafengrim, even though I am a fan of my class I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to play as a different race and I’m more than willing to pay for it.

I like the ideas but I fear once the new race/class combo’s are released there is gonna be very few Draenai left in existence

I have at least two female blood elfs who I’d love to change into a proper horde race. In faction changes I’m not too much interested. I might have been a year ago, when a good friend was playing alliance and I was looking for a guild.

I have to 75+ alliance priests, being able to change one to horde and change her race is a real godsend for me, she’s been lurking for a long time — since i stopped playing with the pally my 80 priest was committed to playing with. Agreeing to only gain xp with your friend sounds like a good idea at the start but really isn’t when you want to play That Class a lot more than your partner wants to play.

So — i can transfer her to a hordeish self and go merrily along.

Wkn-win for me.

Although the half of me that’s dedicated to lore and tradition screams WRONG WRONG WROOONG…

…I like it. This could be the selling point to lure me back to WoW (if they release Emerald Dream)… the Horde population/scenery having turned me off shortly after Ulduar. I desperately need a change, yet I don’t have the heart to level up an Alliance character from scratch…. we’ll see. Depends on how well Aion goes :p

I like the idea of faction changes. With regards to recruitment, it will certainly open up the pool much like PVE->PVP transfers did. However, as I’m already seeing the posts from alliance guilds in the horde recruitment forums looking for players to faction change, I wish that Blizzard would have figured out some way of improving the recruitment forums now that faction changes are live.

For anyone who was recruiting back when there was only one recruitment forum, they moved entirely too quickly for anyone who didn’t have hours each day to dedicate to sifting through them. I really hope bumping your post once a minute or two doesn’t become necessary again if you want even a chance of interested parties seeing it before it falls off the first (or 2nd or 3rd) page.

Both my wife and I transferred characters and then switched factions in order to play with some other family on a different server.

I’m planning on taking advantage of the race change option to switch from Troll to Tauren Priest, and a Draenei to Dwarf Shaman.

I’m more than happy to pay the money, as I love my those classes but not as much a fan of the races.

From the perspective of someone who re-leveled a brand new priest on Alliance to play with friends after hitting 70 on my Horde priest – yeah, totally for it.

From the perspective of someone who loves the lore of Warcraft and hates the idea of someone who knows nothing about the history of the faction suddenly parading around as a level 80 – Heck no.

I think most people eventually level a character of the opposing faction just to find out “if the grass is greener”.

But eventually whatever character you love, spend the most time with, is going to find some kind of circle of friends, a family, and you’re going to feel at home when you play that faction. Dalaran has two sides to the city and all that.

A friend of mine plays and loves his Priest (Alliance). But since the guild we were in disbanded many many months ago he hasn’t found a new guild that suits him. But he also has a DK Horde alt on another server and he found a great guild there.

He announced he was transferring his Priest over last night.
