ZOS never said anything about race change. This is a topic that is brought up on the forums once in a while. Usually by the same regretful Khajiit that wanted to play a sorcerer but realized that none of their racials helped magicka. For the record I am 100% against race changes. Live with your choice or create an alt.

That's not a guarantee...

If you want a race change reroll a char. I really don't see this as being an option in the future and I'm fine with that.

Hopefully the Champion System will stop these requests. With that, all you have to do is get an Alt to L50 and that can be done in a weekend or less.

Knowing where to grind... Different factions have different places for the best grinds. Ask around...

To everyone saying just roll an alt. I do not see it being that simple, some of us have nearly 300 skill points countless achievements and memories since launch. I do not want a new character I love my character however some choices made on day one of early launch were made without enough information to really know what impact racial passive would have at end game

Race change is a good idea and already exists in lore and npc's within the world of eso.
Why this feature that could make some money for zos to put into much needed development would be refused I have no idea

I support race change as long as characters wake up at level 3 in the starting city.

Apologies to all for early morning grumpiness, but I am getting bored of seeing this subject raise itself from its grave on a pretty much weekly basis. It has been battled back and forth in half a dozen threads that actually contained cogent arguments for each side rather than yet another "I want this, why isn't it here yet?" thread.

I doubt "every" MMO does. Even if the do, why does ESO have to do it just because others do? This doesn't suggest the idea has merit, only that there are a lot of very similar MMOs out there.

That would suggest that you do not, in fact, love your character as the race you selected for it on day one of early launch is an aspect of that character. I think what you meant to say was that you love all aspects of your character that are optimal and contribute to your efficacy at end game. Longer but it seems more likely to be true.

Let me refute your statement thus:

"Globally available race change is not a good idea and already exists in lore and npc's within the world of eso in very specific and specialised cases.
Why they would add this feature that could make some money for zos ,while opening up a whole can of worms that may well lead to FOTM race shifting and Pay2Win situations, to put into much needed development that they likely have adequate funding, if not time, for at the moment anyway would be refused I have no idea. Oh wait, yes I do."

Edit: For clarity and a decrease of the grumpiness level.

Why would it matter to you if someone else would like to change their characters race?

Quite apart from anything else, it would mean that the armour/spec requirements that I see so often in group content interactions will start containing race requirements too... on the basis that not being that race for that class/build is sub-optimal. I have seen that to a limited degree already (even within my own Guilds) but it has always met with the "Well this is the race that the available players actually are" argument.

With globally available, even if limited, race changes the dynamics for such things will change whether it is an intended change or not.

Race has meaning because we CAN NOT change them. I do not want a race change in ESO never! This is just a pointless and silly idea.

I VOTE NO TO RACE CHANGE!

Why would it matter to you if someone else would like to change their characters race?

Because race should have meaning and value, lore is the most important then a min / maxer whims. Like or now, ESO and TES games are build on lore. If lore goes, the ESO will die. Lore is the reason that many of us play ESO in the 1st place. Race is more then numbers for min / maxers to play with, it has very deep meaning and very deep history behind each and every race. (aka Lore)

Well i dont have problém with race change, but only if IT reset all skills on 1 and reset lvl on1 too. Bc if you change race you will get New body which yuo must learn control. And ofc all finisihed quest and achievment will stay in status as was before you changed race.

I agree with you, most of the peopel posting here haven't been here from start or probably ain't even max level yet, I would never ever ever start a new character just to change my race. You know why? because I got every single skill maxed out and caped at every morp, got over 13k+ acivment points and almost 300skillpoints and 80days+ play time on him. But still I would like to change race because as @Palindrome says, I didnt have enogh info about the different races at launch.

Wrong. I signed up with my main, who I am still playing, within the first hour of EU early access. Do you want to continue to imply that those of us who don't want to see race change brought in don't know what we are talking about?

When did you start wanting to change race? Was it just now, or was it before you capped your character? I would bet that it was before, so actually you don't need to talk about how much you have done by now, just how much you had done when you realised that you didn't like your race and then chose not to reroll and carried on playing.

And to all you haters, why would you even bother if people change race? Eso is ment to play how you want, not how everyone wants you to play and stick with your bad choices. Nobody here will probably even notice if I change my race, so whats the big issue? Not even my closest friends ingame know what race I am because we are all using maskes/helms anyways, just have to deal with it and allow race change for those who need.

My post explaining why this would affect more than just you is literally 3 posts above yours.
