Faction Change - Who's going to?Follow

As some of you may have noticed, Faction Change has gone live.

I'm considering a faction and server change to a friend who's been bugging me to reroll for-freaking-ever's server, but I'm undecided. The major factor holding me back is that my current guild is doing amazingly well, and I'm hesitant to spontaneously leave (I would obviously tell them I'm leaving and why, not just /gquit like a jerk).

What about you? Will you be using the service?

I'd rather just level any horde toons I want up to 80, that way I'll have have a bit more connection rather than a change of racials and a new look.

no chance. I have enough alts, that if I wanted a specific faction/clss I'd just level one of my alts or make another one. It's not like levelling is that hard...

I use to play Alliance, and then changed to Horde.
And then rolled the same classes, and lvled them.

So really I have no need to change my lv60 Dwarf, 20 Nelf druid and 70 Dk human; as I have a 80 Troll Hunter, 26 Tauren Druid, and 73 Orc DK.

Now when Race change comes, much later on for the new xpack... I might change the Tauren to a Troll...but then again, if the starting area is changed it will probably be fun to see all that on a new character.

Me. I"m sick of the alliance on my server, but i've put too much time into my warrior to delete him.

I was certain I was going to do it a while ago, but now I'm not planning on it.

I really wanted to move my hunter over to alliance side where all the characters I actually play are, because I enjoy hunters, but don't play horde anymore.

But then I realized, I already have two 80 alliance characters and one never gets played because it feels like a waste of time to not be putting time and resources into my main. Just feels like I'm redoing work I already did, so I think the hunter in the end wouldn't get played either.

My <3 lies with my hordies, but I was recently convinced to roll an Ally with some work mates on a different server. I am real close to 75 and now they are talking about switching to horde with this new change :( plus I already have a 76 Horde Druid on another server. I don't see much point in doubling up, one would end up gathering dust.

I wonder if you can server change, cross faction now? ie move my hordie(s) over to the server with Allies already on it, as opposed to faction swapping my Alliance Druid. I might have to respec to Moonkin tonight, just so I have a go for a bit before the inevitable change occurs.

Where was this two years ago?

Guess my NE druid is going cow tonight then ;D

Doesn't seem to have gone live for EU yet, although with a €30 faction change + €20 server change I doubt I'll transfer my alliance shaman to horde.
Even though having the shaman and gold and heirlooms over is very attractive.

I'm horde, and for $30 I dont feel like switching sides just to have all the people who want to be cool, come with me and make a Worgen. I may as well just wait it out until the change.

Not a chance. Of course as a certified altoholic, I pretty much have all the classes I like covered on both Horde and Alliance side, so I don't really *need* this feature. And I can't imagine the thought of losing so much history on any character. But that's just me.

For me it's something I'm mulling over. On one hand, I wanted to be horde when I first started- but all my r/l frinds were Alliance. This would give me a main which could, in turn, fund my horde alt so that I could level him in relative comfort to 80.

On the other hand, apart from Ellieann (my rogue), all of my characters rely on each other for their professions. Steelbelly has enchanting and recently switched to inscription. Marlene is the herbalist and alchemist- so Steel relies on her for his herbs, Nexnecis relies on her for jewel transmutes, and she makes everyone's potions and elixirs. Malesar is a skinner and leatherworker- so he makes gear for himself and for Steelbelly- and leg kits for everyone that can use them. Nexnecis is my miner and jewelcrafter, so he gets to make jewels for everyone... well, once he gets all of the recipes.

Ellieann is a miner and engineer, so she'd be able to make the switch without adversely affecting anyone else. However, I've grown fond of my Gnome rogue, and she also promised Steelbelly she'd make him a motorcycle, so he'd be hurt if she left before she kept her word. Besides, I don't know if I want to spend $30 just to switch her to a "maybe I'll play her as horde" character- and then find out I don't like it on that side as much.
