“Undead Rogue into an Undead Tauren”

Can I change my Human Paladin into a Human Gnome? ;)

Despite the teasing, I like the idea.

Even just being able to switch to other legal race/class combinations would be nice. They could even be fussy and make you retain your Horde/Alliance allegiance. (No Tauren to Gnome, then.)

It’s really only one step removed from the Death Knight class anywho. Allow players at the level cap to create new characters at some arbitrary non-1 level. There’s not a huge difference in being able to change your existing character to something new.

I think the real trouble is that allowing such a race/class change would mean people wouldn’t be playing alts as much, and total sub time would go down. They can’t have that.

Sorry I wasn’t clear there. :)

What I want is for players to be able to cross over the class restrictions that Blizzard currently has in place. Because of awesome Gnomish technologies, for example, I could turn my Undead Rogue into an Undead Tauren. It’d be a totally ‘normal’ character in all respects other than the fact that it would be a race/class combination not previously possible.

I like the idea of cool uniqueness from a system like this.

And would that be a real Usinger’s kielbasa, or some store brand?

So, you are saying that if I take a Tauren druid, I would, via your suggested service, be able to change him to look like a Blood Elf, but still retain all the racial abilities/bonuses and whatever? How about his mount? Do I end up with a blood elf riding a kodo, or should they swap at least the racial mount as well?

Hrmmm…..

We need Tauren Rogues.

It’s a completely cosmetic change, none of the factors have any in-game impact. That’s the whole point. Blizzard wants to avoid unforeseen and potentially imbalanced class/race combinations, like warstomping mages or Escape Artist hunters. With the new MMO on the works, Blizzard doesn’t want WoW to cause any extra work. They like it as it is: a cash cow.
