They said race changes would come a bit after faction changes.

Q u o t e:
The new World of Warcraft Faction Change service is now live. As we mentioned previously, [ http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=18031079410&sid=1 ] we’ve been in the process of developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance for a fee. After purchasing a Faction Change for a character, a player can choose any race of the opposite faction that is compatible with the character’s class. For more information on the Faction Change service, please read the FAQ, [ http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&tag=FCFAQ ] or visit the Faction Change page [ https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/faction-change-intro.html ] to get started.

Based on further community feedback, we have also decided to offer a race change service in the future. Players who choose to switch races will be able to change their race within their same faction and class. Additional details will be released at a future date.

Important Note:
All achievements and quest lines relating to the Argent Tournament are reset when a characters uses the Faction Change service.

From the sticky announcement for Faction changes we said the following:

So race change is coming at a future point in time. We don't have any further information for you at this point in time, however.

Just in case you can answer this Neth, is this planned to be released with 3.3, or will it be released whenever it is ready, like it's big brother faction changes? Thanks either way =)

What are you thinking?

Why would you want to change from a glorious gnome to a depressing human?

Yes, it is $60, and takes the time of 2 faction transfers plus the CD period.

my guess would be in a few weeks when the initial rush of faction changes have been handled.

I'm glad that they are going ahead with the race change even if it takes a while. That way I can get my nelf druid faction changed to horde and transferred to my horde server and be able to play and change him to a troll after the expansion comes out.

This is a question that a lot of people will have, mainly because people have trouble reading past the first two or three words in any post. And so by answering it here it will hopefully keep hundreds of other similar posts from being made.

So, while it may seem stupid, it is actually a smart move.
