Goblin and Worgen Faction and Race Changes will be available at launch, December 7th 2010, at 12:00. Full statement from Blizzard.
With two new playable races just on the horizon, many players have been asking when they’ll be able to convert their existing characters into goblins or worgen. Paid faction and race changes will be available immediately once Cataclysm is released. Realm First achievements for leveling any class to 85 will be available in Cataclysm. However there will be no Realm First achievements associated with leveling characters of a specific race.
There will be a slight change to the way paid services work for goblins and worgen. Goblin and worgen characters wishing to change race or faction cannot be in Kezan, Lost Isles or Gilneas; they must be elsewhere to initiate the process. There are no restrictions on race/faction change to goblin or worgen.

Did nobody hear about this? It wasnt on the discussions!
I'm sure many faction/race change fanatics will love this. Personally it doesn't affect me since I'm cheap and don't pay for this kind of stuff; I do everything from scratch.
Oh yes… Finally, as soon as Cata releases, I can leave my horrible life as a Nightelf! Wooooooooooooot!
well ill be. didnt think it would happen but it did.
kinda like the worgen mount.
Haha neat. This means my new hordie toons will be getting ganked by snarling bundles of angry fur in plate armor right from the get-go. I'm so excited. ^_^
How much is it gonna cost?
@WhomBaBhamBa:
Race changes & faction changes will probably stay the same price (that is, $25 for race & $30 for faction); the only thing that will be any different is that you won't be able to change from worgen or goblin to something else until you complete the starting areas.
is that confirmed? i want to know cause im thinkin bout changing my pally to a tauren.
