Free faction change:
- Faction change allows the player to change his characters race to opposite faction race compatible with their classes
- Faction change would apply on all player characters on a PvP server
To change faction, player would have to request or sign up for faction change. Only limited about of faction changes are permitted on a server based on current faction population balance. Faction changes would be executed on a monthly basis.
The system would aim to maintain balance between factions at 50% / 50% with a maximum of 5% skew. Once a player has successfully changed faction, 3 month faction change restriction would come into effect. When the restriction expires, the player is allowed to cancel the faction change and change his character back into original class and race combination regardless of the faction balance situation. This temporary privilege will expire in two weeks after restriction ended. After this the faction change is final and another 3 month restriction on faction change would become in effect. After this, faction changes are permitted again only based on population balance criteria. For example, at maximum skew, the player will not be permitted to change their faction unless the population balance situation changes.
On highly skewed servers like Gehennas (99.9% Horde), ~50% of Horde players would be allowed to change faction and race for free. After first faction change is executed, the next faction change would permit 2.5% of Horde players to change faction, and so on.
Additional new service included with this update:
- Character race change, 10€ fee. (not faction change)
