Possible bug: race change from Tauren to Orc

#0 - Oct. 30, 2009, 4:31 p.m.

I have a level 80 hunter on Scarlet Crusade, Artema, that I did a race change on from a female tauren to a female orc, and I've experienced a bug (I think).

In the blue quotes I read about the race switch, I knew that Black War mounts would be switched from the one of the current race to the new one. I.E., as a tauren, if I'd had a Black War Kodo, it would've become a Black War Wolf.

Well, I already had a Black War Wolf when I switched. Now it's become the War Kodo. :\ Is this intended, or a glitch?

If I could have the Kodo removed and the Wolf restored, that'd be awesome, but I can understand if it can't be. ^^

And just to add, I don't remember reading anything about this, but my Burgundy Wolf that I got from the tournament was switched to became a Golden Kodo. Also a glitch, or intentional? :\ I am a champion for both factions, though now the Valiant quest shows up for both of them.

Actually, this change in mounts is exactly what is intended to occur when you use the Race Change service. Here's a link to the main FAQ:

More importantly, here's a link to the mount conversion chart:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/race-change/index.xml

You'll note that those conversion arrows go both ways. This is because when you swap races, all the mounts you already possess belonging to the target race should be swapped to the mount listed on the conversion chart.

Thus, as a Tauren, you had a number of Orc mounts. Now that you're an Orc, those mounts which were previously Orc mounts, are now Tauren mounts. I hope that this hasn't been too disappointing for you though =(.

I can see that you have a Frostwolf Howler, so you aren't entirely without lupine transportation, at least.
