...And you believe you're the first to try for a petition for this?
*sigh*
...
Blizz won't make race changes. Ever.

I support this post, cuz I really want to be a human paladin by the name of Mokairum, rather than a squid freak by the name of Etonlor.
Funnily enough, I wish my Paladin was a Draenei instead of human. But I started playing on a trial without BC, so I had no choice.

It's been tried many times, not gonna happen. Gender is one thing, it makes no difference in any way. As Blizzard said, purely cosmetics.
Race makes many differences, such as mounts, reputation, and even a few quests, among certain other things.

while i agree with what the op wants this is reason why it can not happen.

While Blizzard
has
stated that some things never will be implemented (gender changes, PvE->PvP transfers) but they introduced them anyway, this is one thing that will never ever happen. For example; Tauren rogues? Gnome Druids?
Dwarf Priests?
Orc Paladins? I don't think so.
The looks/gender change is purely cosmetic and by no means affect your character's stats or abilities. But the race change can and will affect your game play. Altering that would become such a hassle, I don't think Blizzard would implement it.
And I hope they never do.

no this will not happen and i do think it lead to easier being a jerk then you can change your race also. Imagine someone who is a really ninja, he just race change and add a new name and is scot free on same server and do it again.
It is a reason why i am not to happy with name and the gender change also. But in today you can at least have a good guess it is that dude even if he does a change, with race change it would almost be impossible.
Also as mention, if you could change like that the post maker suggest you would destroy the idea of races got certain class bcs then you could as said change from blood elf paladin to an undead paladin who would be really devasting for the lore.
Also race quests and some class quest varies btw factions so that would also be a problem.
Race changes would add more problem than just cosmetic changes who already exist today. Damn blizz.
On a side note i have experienced one good case with name changing. A druid in my guild was harrashed by a chick who was crazy for him, sended him messages stalking him etc. So he name changed and managed to get ride of the problem by the combo of leaving the guild a week before and stay unguilded some time.

Again, as many people have stated, it will NEVER happen....To many complications come up in the process, where as in the sex change, it's only cosmetic, in a race change, to much would have to be changed....stuff like "health, mana, reputation.....", as well as it limits the fact so taht Paladins (horde ofc), Shaman (alliance ofc), and druids could not change races.

Isn't it in Blizzards policies to ignore all petitions anyway?
Anyway, I will post on the official forums and hope to see more intelligent people who at least read the post before replying
Good luck with that :)

... and then changing race at 80. This would not only be unfair but also incredibly unbalanced.
/agree
not to mention it would crush any hope of seeing new races in the future. who would bother levelling a new toon from 1-80 when they could just pay to change their current lvl 80's class from ___ to ___?
(i wouldn't, personally, but a LOT of other people would :p)
I'm presuming you're an EU player—given that you used the pound currency in your post—so I'll provide a direct link to the EU Suggestions Forum below.
