In the latest build players will notice paid character services buttons appear next to characters at random on the Character Selection screen. These are the buttons you would normally see after purchasing any service, such as race, realm, or faction changes, or character customization. If a character service button shows up next to one of your characters, you can click it to make use of a free race change or character customization (faction change coming soon). You can make use of these buttons as often as you like, but the services for which you’re selected are randomly chosen for you and will update every hour. So, say if you don’t want to change your race but would like to customize your appearance on a specific character, you will need to wait for the right button to appear.

Please note that these buttons are only for beta testing purposes and are not intended to be released for free on live realms. We want beta testers to stress test our paid services so we can ensure they are operating smoothly when World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is released.

Q u o t e:


What I stated was that they were gone altogether. So that must mean that having no Service Buttons available is also part of the rotation? Because that is something I was not aware of, hence my confusion. And also the reason why I asked.

Not being flagged for a change is an intended part of the hourly rotation to slightly throttle the system.

Thank you everyone for your reports so far. :)
