Anet, please fix your search function so we’re not getting spammed with up to three threads per day on this tedious topic. Thank you.

OP, surely you must’ve seen the other two threads (one of them less than ten posts below yours!) on the first page of Suggestions before starting this one, no?

Make a new character.. problem solved …

Seriously, there will be and there should be never ever a Race Change feature and when you make millions of this suggestion threads for this, it will change nothing.

In the year that you waste here for this topic, you could have made already lots of new characters to get that character with that race that you want to play so desperately and get them to max level with max stats, seriously.

ANet has absolutely no reason to make race change possible for the Gem Store, when there is already an easy solution that lets them also make basically profit by letting players buy new character slots.

The only option about changign races I could see happening is that ANet implements maybe Racial Tonics, that let you temporarely transform into an other race, but thats all about it, what is much likely to happen perhaps, which would make any sense at all.

I would like to see an extremely makeover kit that could do this , for big sum of gems of course . I also agree with Orpheal that you can buy a new slot character and start again the character, but if you want to use the name from the previous character then there is a problem. And for this could be a switch between 2 character names orb or something in gem store .

I agree that there should be racial tonics to feel in the selected race’s body.
And be a copy of your armor skins (light,medium,heavy) to the temporary-transmuted-race-selection tonic.

Watchknight tonic is a good example, it has battle moves, emotions, and you can see your weapon and use skills with human movement style, but you can only stay a few minutes in it and recharge time is high, this is only sad thing about it

No, there is no problem, buy 2 Name Change contracts..

use the 1st on the Character whose Name you want to give onto an other Character.
use the second on the character whose name you want to give from an other character.

problem solved and its already buyable from the Gem Story, nothing new needs to be added and it costs you 1600 Gems exactly to move a Character name from an old character to a new one. A new slot costs 800, maybe when lucky that anet makes a discount action, maybe 20% lesser (640).
So, all in all would cost say for example 2240 Gems and you have your new character with the name of an old one. You have your race then that you wan,t.

All that the most lazy players would have to do then is to level up that character again.
The only point there is to discuss now is the question:

Whats with the Equipment?

Theres also an solution for it.

Transmutation Crystals.
If you transmute an item, it changes from Soulbound to Accountbound.
So transmute all your weapons and armor and youcan even give all of your old equipment to a new character for Gems to spent naturally ….

Then would have ANet only to improve the Transmutation System by adding finally a feature, that allows you also to transmute Accessoires (this would finally allow us to customize a bit more accessoires, even if they have no visuality, exscept their ICONS and their NAMES)

There is absolutely no need to implement a spererative racial Change feature into this game, when you can basically get everythign you want with the stuff, that ANet already provides us for a clear known amount of Gems that even gets sometimes discounted by Anet.

Ok seems there is solution and the price for it, given by Orpheal.

Then racial change feature can be solved with a playable racial tonic that gives you the ability to temporary transform into your desired race with same gear/weapon as you have but modified for the selected race adapted style.
This would be more cheaper and it’s temporary , and let’s you use your race’s unique abilities in pve
