I am *swishes tail*

On the PTR, though, I love Galaxy's look SO MUCH with that bow on her back that I almost decided against it. ALMOST.

Panda's aren't for me, I'll be sticking with what I have already. As far as my monks go, I'll either be Human or Draenei for Alliance faction, Blood Elf or Orc for Horde faction. I've already got tons of leather armor sets stockpiled for transmogging.

I made a warrior that I'm specifically gonna be changing into a panda, and i have a shammy that "may" make that change, the warrior was a gnome for the light sabre, because I love the way pandaren fight with two handers, it reminds me of the whole jedi thing.

my Orc will become an ally panda, my goblin farmer might become an ally panda as well. The bonus to rested XP is just too good to pass up if already faction changing, plus, pandas have the strongest ally racial.

(actually, since the are nerfing the orc racial, pandas might have the strongest racial of all).

Magli's not racechanging (female dwarf power!), though I'll probably roll a Panda alt of some sort and play through the starting area in a few months after the crush has died down.

I think they should go through and recycle all of the names taken for accounts that haven't been active in 3 or 4 years for level 1 toons 5 or 6 years old.

Without accents, pretty soon the only names available will be "lksjdg" and "aiuwejt"

:(

Race changing my lvl85 shaman, rerolling my lvl 30 priest and rolling a monk. So at least 3 pandas. Not sure I'll race change my mage, or if that would be to a panda. I want to see how the new character models of the vanilla races look like.

Back when I was in high school and dinosaurs roamed the earth, we got a new computer game called "Ultima 3." The game's Big Feature was that you controled a party of adventurers instead a single character, so me, my brother, and my friends Rob and Eric decided to start a game as a team--we'd each have a character of our own, and only play when the four of us could get together. I don't remember who controlled the party's mage, but when I asked him what I should name it he answered "I don't care," and I hit the keyboard randomly and pressed Enter.

And for the rest of the game, the party featured Kugf the mage. :D

...this has been your topic derail of the day. We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic.

If a name has been on like, a super-low-level character that hasn't been used for years? You can ticket and ask for it to be released, as far as I know.

I have done this with sucess with three names, names are important to me so I'm happy about that.

I'll race change (and faction) my Orc, and likely a gathering alt. Beyond that, probably not.

Its sad that the only other active character named Royi in all of WOW thats active happens to be on the server I moved to about 2 years ago (he was there already back then too).

Seriously, only 3 Royi's out of the 47 found currently have talent points distributed and have logged in recent enough to show up on armory (if it shows 0/0/0 that generally means that they havent logged in since the last time talent points were reset for all classes). And 2 of those Royi's are mine. Drat that Royi from Llane, drat him alot!

I have been leveling a worgen hunter for the exact reason of race changing him to a Panda. His name is is Aoí (means blue but that does not mean that he will stay on the ally side. Still up in the air on which side he will end up on).

As far as the accent mark thing I have made a character just recently with special characters and I changed my second oldest toons name to Ordên with no problems. Several characters of mine have the slashed o (ø) in their names. So I'm betting on MoP being the time that is implemented.

I hear you on that. When I was going to name change Harbingar to Orden I found that a low lvl worgen hunter had the name. Though when I sent in a ticket to ask if the name could be cleared up for my name change I was told no. So I had to change it to Ordên. :( :evil:
