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."

  1. New WoW service by ocularDeathRay · · Score: -1, Troll

    I will provide a service (for a fee of course) to anyone playing WoW who wants to switch to my faction. I call my faction realz0rs.

    the grass really is greener out here with realz0rs. You can interact with any number of different characters or environments. If someone pisses you off you can always PvP them. The graphics are astonishing, and the fps is nearly infinite. Here in the realz0rs if we need a break we play other video games... you remember those, they were other fun things you used to play before you joined the horde... you know like when people would come over to your house, sit on your couch, complain about their girlfriend and play sega soccer slam.... you remember don't you?

    How this works is I come over to your house, collect my fee, beat the living fuck out of you for wasting your time on a boring piece of shit like WoW. Then I unplug your computer and throw it through the nearest window. When the swelling goes down enough that you can open your eyes again you will be shocked at the resolution of the new monitor I have given you. It will take some time to get used to as we have some different social customs here in the realz0rs, for example, calling strangers newfag is kind of frowned upon. A few PvP battles and you will learn these customs.

    or maybe I have just lost too many good friends to this nonsense.

  3. Yet again, they further homogonize the game by Da+w00t · · Score: 1, Troll

    Alliance had the Palladin class.
    Horde had the Shamman class.

    Then the Burning Crusade expansion comes out, further blurring Alliance and Horde by giving each of them what the other had, and they did not.

    Now they're going to let you flip sides years after being stuck on one side? What's the point of having factions? Where's the lore of the hostility between the races?

    More to the point: what's the bloody point?
