Would love it if there was a race change! Sure you can make new characters but the journey of having to do generations over again is a pain! Some of us actually regret playing certain race and wish could switch.

A player could train new skills under a new race, and gain the stat boosts from the new skills. Then when a player rebirths back into the a previous race, those old skills would return and the newer ones would become inaccessible but retain their bonuses.
With the alliance thingy, it would make sense that if a human rebirthed as a giant or elf, it would automatically reset to the new race. In the reverse, player rebirthing into a human would ally themselves with their most recent former race.
They might as well as do away with the system, though. Or make things more like they used to be. I enjoyed the days when I allied myself with the elves and had to carefully wonder through vales, keeping an eye on the guards. Or that brief time when I changed sides and had to tread carefully through Filia. But I realize returning that to the game is most likely never even going to make it to the table of discussion for DevCAT... not even in the room for discussion. So yeah, the alliance has no real purpose these days. It could go.
I used to hang out in Filia during those days; the memory tower peninsula was safe enough and Filia's walls, back then, were not worthy of the name. I tried applying for their basketball team. I figured I was a shoe-in for center but they sent the city guards after me!
Nexon has tried to address this by making races specialists as various parts of combat: the tank guys, the DD guys, the auxiliaries. WoWc succeeds at this because these rolls are base on character class rather than character race, but Mabinogi doesn't use character classes. Don't misunderstand me, this is good that we don't have character classes but the result is that differences are based on race. The thing is, parts of combat specialists do not make equals when it comes to lone-wolfing or PvP and hense people beach about inequality.
Nexon could try to address this by making specialisation more coarse: fighting race, crafting race, music(?) race, and so on. The thing is this would not be well received either. What if you like crafting but, overnight after applying the change, find yourself stuck with a fighting race.
The real solution is to allow race change then, whatever they choose to do, or not, doesn't matter. If some new race is better you can just switch over, taking most of your progress with you; everybody wins.
I mean, It's an old game and it still hasnt been done. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to be able to change my race. I just started playing this, and have gotten to a point that I wish I had gone as an elf! Because I love magic classes, and running extremely fast. I was very dissapointed to find out how much faster elves run than humans!
Theres the option of starting again, but I'd have to wait 24 hours+ for my name again, I'd have to rebuy my cosmetics (Hair, eyes, face) And I'd need to buy a new character card. Plus all the hours I've spent simply playing the game, yeah no lol.
But yes, oh my days.. Please, race change.. Or have the option to at rebirth at a cost to the NX coin wallet.
Better yet, would of been much better to have not had racial stat bonus's to begin with, so that people can play whatever race they want without being punished for it.
Sorry for necroing an old post!~
Some stuff here might give some hope.
