The
expected race change feature is now active on the Account Management page, at least on the US realms. One of our writers has gone through with the change, and it appears to be working. The charge is $25, five dollars less than
the faction change feature released a while ago, and includes a full customization -- gender, name, and appearance if you choose to do them. The race changes
do not include
the new class combinations yet -- we'll probably have to wait until
Cataclysm at least before those become available. It's
not live on the EU realms yet either, as of this writing.
There is also
an extended FAQ, which we've posted after the break. This is
something that we mostly never expected to happen, right up until Blizzard started saying that it would just a while ago. So at this point, once you roll a character, you're now able to (for an additional charge) change everything about it save for the actual class. It seems unlikely that Blizzard would ever let that happen (given that classes are the fundamental basis of a roleplaying game), but of course we've learned to never say never with them.
Update: We've now received
official blue confirmation that it is intended to be active. Enjoy, everyone!
