    Join the Grand Melee: Horde vs. Alliance - Battlecry Mosaic - Nebu on 11/30/09

    For years the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance has ebbed and flowed -- a perpetual convergence of steel and magic throughout the lands of Azeroth, Outland, and Northrend. Heroes have risen to the call wielding the banners of their chosen faction and have looked deep into the eyes of their enemies without fear. Now, the battle between the factions has spilled forth into the distant world known as Earth.

    Heed the call of the Horde or Alliance and join in the Battlecry Mosaic! This battle is not waged with magic or weapons, but instead with photos. Simply print out your faction's banner, take a picture with you, your friends, your guild, or even your faithful pet ferret, submit it, and you can be part of history. As each faction adds photos, so too can a virtual treasure trove of Warcraft images be gained and ultimately, reveal an exclusive piece of art with their faction leaders.

    Visit the Battlecry Mosaic Page to get your banner and submit your image. Images should be in .jpg, .gif or .png format, with a minimum resolution of 1024 x768 (landscape) and a maximum file size of 5 MB.

    Who will succeed first? The fierce Horde? Or the noble Alliance? Only you can make the difference in this war.

    Lil' K.T., the Littlest Lich

    Faction Change Service Now Available - Nebu on 9/3/09
    The new World of Warcraft Faction Change service is now live. As we mentioned previously, we've been in the process of developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance for a fee. After purchasing a Faction Change for a character, a player can choose any race of the opposite faction that is compatible with the character's class. For more information on the Faction Change service, please read the FAQ, or visit the Faction Change page to get started.

    Based on further community feedback, we have also decided to offer a race change service in the future. Players who choose to switch races will be able to change their race within their same faction and class. Additional details will be released at a future date.
