Does any one know if we have received any information about the potential for faction changes being added to the store?
 
I know there wasn't really a mention of it before FTP, and a quick google search didn't return much for the future. So I figured I would ask.
 
Thanks for any info.

			I've heard nothing on the topic. I don't see it happening in the near future.

Faction changes are something that we've discussed a couple times internally, but they are not currently in the works. Because the game was not originally made with faction changes in mind, the amount of data that needs to "switch" is astronomical. There exist no maps as to what matches with what between factions, and in many cases things may just not have an opposing faction equivalent.
 
That's not to say that faction changes will never happen, but it's a very complex and time-consuming problem that we haven't yet begun to solve. Of course, as with everything else the more demand we see for a feature, the more likely we are to prioritize it higher!

			meh, do a faction change, just have to do everything over again.  Similar to how if you created a toon on the PTR and did the "quest" to level straight to 50.  Truly the only thing that would transfer over mapwise would be raids/dungeon/world boss kills because those are universal for both sides.
