ya i figured they had to do all that, wonder if someone does it themself or if its done automatic lol..


The process is essentially automated though it does take time. Remember that nearly ever aspect of your character must be changed, your faction, any faction specific gear you have, etc. . . .

Please also keep in mind that this is a long anticipated service and odds are over the coming weeks that it will be very popular, being new and shiny. Thus the Paid Character Transfer and Faction Change queues may take longer than they would normally take.

Knowing the average queue time would be wonderful. Been three hours-ish myself.


The norm would be under an hour, Apostle, just like Paid Character Transfers, however it is difficult to give an average when the system was introduced only today and the amount of people using the service is currently unknown. :) The approval time will likely be longer than normal, until the queues calm down a bit.

Jeez i figured blizz would know every little inch of everything that happens on this game! it would be really interesting to actually see how many people are using it right now lol wonder if its over 20k


These services are usually under the jurisdiction of our Billing department so they likely know what the numbers look like. :)

anyone know if i can log into my account and play on alts? or is it a better idea not to. also does being logged into the forums mess with it at all, next thing blizz needs to come out with is our own personal blues! what i would give to have that feature hahaha!


Absolutely, Haunted, you just want to avoid logging into the character that is pending the Faction Change.
