Faction Changes Coming To World of Warcraft
A Blizzard representative today announced that they're working on a service for players to switch factions in World of Warcraft, going from Horde to Alliance or vice versa. "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." They also said there would be "some rules involved with when and how the service can be used."
...so they start screwing up everything good of the game.
I started playing in 2005 (in Europe it came in Feb 2005) and quitted 1 month ago after buying SF4 for PS3. I was mainly a PvP player, but I have done basically all the raid (even partially the new one, Ulduar).
I think vanilla WoW was very good, TBC was the most balanced arena wise, WotLK is the worst ever. No funny dungeons, raids or too simple or too long (couldn't they implement Naxx as 4 bg instances of 1.5 hrs each?).
Anyway, leaving the DK class and other still overpowered for months says long about the attention put into the game. This was the game until 2 months ago...
WotLK has been no fun just waste of money and time.
Now that the boat is slowly sinking due to their greedy policies they are trying to save themselves introducing the most absurd concepts...what a missed opportunity not to do it...
Cheers,
