 Blizzard posted this image online with the subtitle "glimpses". Some sort of teaser about 4.3? I'm guessing Void Storage is some sort of currency exchange, one that is probably used for whatever service the Transmogrifier provides. Appearance slots. with the ability to trade tier items down the chain. |

You shut your lying mouth. There's no way it's something that awesome.

Prolly not, I've been out of wow for about 8 months but the first thing I thought of when I asked myself what haven't they done that would be easy and something people have been asking about for a while. Bonus speculation is not only could you trade down for any tier but you could recolor it however you wanted with one of those vendors.

If it's appearance slots, I'll cry myself to sleep every night thinking about the Nax40 warrior set that I don't have and can never get.

I'm going to go with the "Barbershop for your face/ skin attributes" line of thought. They've clung too tightly to the appearance of items for me to believe they're backing down now, worry over SWG or no.

Someone on the MMO champ forums suggested that maybe the Transmogrifier might be used to "turn on" updated character models for the old races. That way, people who like old models could keep them, and people who want new models with goblin / worgen level improvements could use him to activate the model changes on whatever races they want. |

I can let you know right now that it involves the transfer of object between servers and the manipulating the stats on equipment, and not the altering of any particular thing's appearance. Blizzard hates you.

They already have reforging, I'm not sure why they would mess with stats-on-equipment at an entirely different NPC?

Oh but they are really just laying the groundwork to import your Diablo III rmt auctionhouse loot into WoW, and that would require a new NPC.

Well they have to be a little mysterious about it, I mean this is what is going to keep people from leaving WoW to try SWTOR!  |

Yeah, this. What stats would you be manipulating that the reforger doesn't do or couldn't just be tweaked to do as well? |

A thought I had was the transmorgifier dude will exchange your heirlooms for one of the same type or something. So turn your mail shoulders into cloth or whatever. Don't know if they'd actually do that, though, as they want people to keep farming JP for as long as possible, I imagine.

Incidentally, "Warpweaver Hashom" is an anagram for "a wow rehash revamp"  |

I'd pay a pretty penny to change classes, so I'm going to hope one of them will let me do that.

It would certainly make FOTM classes more interesting.  |

I wouldn't expect that from an in-game UI, since they haven't added any other features in-game.

GuildWars lets you create level capped classes for PvP that have access to all your previous skill unlocks across your account.
GW might not be the best example though, as it's a different barrel of monkeys.

You had to lose a WHOLE LEVEL to switch on our MUD, didn't you? Or just a level's worth of experience or ... something. Now that I think about it, the few times I did it, I was level capped, switched, then just recapped from all the extra XP I had lying around. Good times!

I've always wondered what Remorting of the type where you start over as L1 with better stats would do in an AAA MMO. I'd probably be soloing Ragnaros on my hunter or pally by now. |

FFXI let you swap classes, by visiting a moogle npc. It also had a subclass system, so you could combine any two of the classes you had. Some combos had more synergy than others, of course. Subclassing black mage (BLM) to warrior (WAR) wouldn't actually improve your performance as a warrior. But you could do it. IIRC all races could be all classes, although some were more effective in certain roles due to innate stats. Of course, you had to level up whatever classes you wanted to use. And only your main class would get xp, again iirc. So if you wanted to really get a lot of use out of multi-classing, it was grindy. All of this was true within the first 6 months of the NA launch of the game. They could have changed things since then. |

The Transmogrifier will turn you into an Eel, Baboon, Bug or Dinosaur. Frog and Elephant will be patched in later.
 Love it. |

So, I am bored a bit so I might fire up the free comeback trial and level a new character on a fresh server to see the new content.
Is there still a server with an active F13 population?
(I think I as this question every 6 months or so :) )

There never really was. There's always the SLAP (Ingmar, Sjofn, Fordel, etc) people. |
