Rejoice! A faction swapping service is coming to World of Warcraft. Details and development haven’t been finalized, but Blizzard community manager “Nethaera” said that the service would function how we imagined: a player chooses a character he or she wants swapped and the game will spit out a comparable opposite-faction version of it. Nice.
Nathaera went on to add that the swapping service will be regulated in a way that won’t interfere with stuff going on in a given realm and, naturally, players will have to abide by the rules attached to it. Figuring out how to control the service without causing a mess will be the challenge as well as the reason why it may take a bit to implement.
“The number of variables involved increases the complexity of implementing this service,” Nathaera said in a message board posting, “but we plan to take the time needed to ensure that it lives up to expectations before officially rolling it out.”
As Nathaera mentions in the opening of her blockbuster post, this service is something fans have been asking about for the last two billion years. We haven't asked for it yet because we're still trying to get helicopters added. We don't want to seem greedy or anything.
[Update: Perhaps this is why Blizzard never answered my e-mails about helicopters. They're already in the game. World of Warcraft is the best thing ever created; confirmed. Thanks for the heads up, guys. Mind giving me a 'copter?

I remember this because I told her to STFU so she didn't wake the kids. That was a bad night.
I'm currently playing WoW, and the only reason I am is because all of my friends play it... if I had my choice, it'd be Warhammer Online. WAR has been the more fun of the two games despite WoW having more content.
LOLWHUT?
Too bad I don't have a motorcycle yet though.
Engineering is my jam.
Haha. That's pretty pathetic. Is it really a game if you have to pay someone else to play it for you?
WoW players are suckers.
Pallys going to Horde from Alliance, regardless of race, will most likely have to be Blood Elves.
