Character Alliance Swap (Traitors Contract)

I've been playing EP since the game started but I've spent most of the time playing with DC guys, I myself would love to be able to swap my main character over to be able to do more with them.

I Propose a "Traitors Contract" in which for 2000 crowns you can swap one character to a different alliance, this only allows a one way swap and can't be purchased again on that character. This would allow me and others like me to play pve open world with friends as I have very few ep friends.

What do you guys think? :)

    It has been mentioned before, several times.

    Main point is, such an option would have to be locked until after completing cadwells, to prevent a lot of questline iffyness that would need way too much coding time to untangle.

    And then... I for one wouldn't want to see it in an "use scroll, poof, pop over to new alliance" feature, but... something way more. An epic questline with an "alliance loyalty called in question" theme, and a big choice in the first half of it - stay loyal to your alliance and find out who framed you, or prepare your defection to greener pastures. Both choices should take you all over your faction homelands, perhaps reusing a few instances from old questlines, and culminatre in either an epic battle against the true traitor, or an epic escape towards your new alliance just ahead of the guards sent to arrest you! I mean, come on... don't you want to slam a porticullis shut into Razum-dars face as you hop on a smuggler boat bound towards Morrowind with Naryu? ;)
    There could also be nifty titles in it... "Covenant/Dominion/Pact Loyalist" or "Covenant/Dominion/Pact Defector"...

    Also, since when the topic comes up, the PvP crows usually whines about people willy-nilly joining the winning team (as if they couldn't just switch campaigns), it seems likely that some drawbacks should apply to traitors. Like, say... noone really trusts a traitor, so how about they gain only half AP in their new alliance for six months? And will forever be worth triple AP to any of their old alliance who takes them down in Cyrodil...
