Guild Wars 2

Seeing as Guild Wars 2 is a very story oriented game- it seems that the possibility of a race changing service would be somewhat contradictory to the myriad of ways GW2 tries to immerse the character in the culture of their chosen race.

However, I’m holding out for whatever races that may be available to the player in the future (tengu/dwarves/pandaren) and I’m somewhat curious if the option to change a character’s race may be available as a service later on in the game’s life.

It’s just a thought and I was interested in seeing what the GW2 community thought of having a service like this implemented in the game.

I don’t believe ANet has released an exact answer to this question, but in the blog post regarding GW1 name reservations they stated something along the lines of ‘shortly after release’ would be the time when you can begin to use names that were carried over from the original Guild Wars.

There are one or two names I’m really after (that have not been claimed yet) but since they are still reserved, I am unable to do so. I’m just wondering if anyone knows if there is a date when these reservations are set to expire.
