i'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question

but when cata is released i read a blizzard post that said race/faction changes to Worgen/Goblin will be available immediately

so my question is:
there is gonna be a huge flood of customers plus wait times when that happens, so can we purchase the faction and or race change before cata is released and then wait until it is released to USE it?

that way we can avoid the WAIT times?

thanks in advance

The following is taken directly from the Race Change Support Article, Nadian: (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/28968).

    What happens after I initiate a Race Change?

      Once your payment has processed and after you have remained logged out of the game for at least 30 minutes, you will see a new button to the left of the character's name upon next login. Clicking on this button will allow you to select the character's new race, as well as customize the character's look and name. These steps will greatly resemble the character creation process.

      To complete the Race Change, press the button labeled "Click to change your character's race" and confirm your selections. If you do not wish to change the character's race immediately, you may do so at a later time.


That being said, you are going to be able to initiate the process, be it Faction Change or Race Change-as the functionality is the same for both. You are not, however, going to be able to finalize the process until the release of Cataclysm, Nadian. This means that you are still going to have to wait for the finalization portion of the process.
