World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic players can finally get Paid Faction Changes on the Battle.net store. Though the service is staying in World of Warcraft Classic indefinitely, players can currently get Paid Faction Changes at a discounted rate.
The Paid Faction Change service allows a character to swap between the Alliance to the Horde, changing to one of the faction's eligible races in the process. While this service was originally unavailable in the retro servers, World of Warcraft has officially added Paid Faction Change for Wrath of the Lich King Classic. Classic Era and Season of Mastery characters in WoW will still be unable to utilize this service.
Until February 27, players can save 30% on the Paid Faction Change service. One token is available for $21 instead of $30, and a pack of three can be bought for $42 instead of $60. During this time period, players buying the $95 six-pack receive an additional two Faction Changes for a total of eight. These Paid Faction Change tokens can be saved for later use.
Previously, Wrath of the Lich King Classic wasn't going to add Race and Faction Change. It did not want to trivialize race choice and feared players might change factions for flippant reasons, like cherry-picking racial traits and abilities for raids. However, it has since walked back that decision, deciding it is more important to be able to play with friends. The same-faction Paid Race Change service has not yet been added to the Battle.net shop for Wrath of the Lich King Classic, but players can expect it to arrive soon.
Many players are relieved to see World of Warcraft adding Paid Faction Changes to Wrath of the Lich King Classic. While Classic was originally all about preserving Vanilla WoW as it was, few players mind that its “No Changes” policy has gradually evolved into “Some Changes” over time–and those that don't want this change still have the Classic Era servers. Many players are eagerly awaiting the Paid Race Change service, and hope it is added soon.
World of Warcraft just recently launched Secrets of Ulduar on the Wrath of the Lich King Classic servers. This famous patch added one of the most iconic raids to World of Warcraft and set the stage for Wrath of the Lich King’s Trial of the Crusader, which players can expect in the next few months. Once players are finished assaulting the ancient Titan facility and defeating the Old God Yogg-Saron, they shouldn’t have to wait long for the next Wrath of the Lich King Classic raid to launch.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic is available on PC.
