Being that it’s a Heroic class, it seems a bit un-heroic to start at level one. At least that is our thinking. Don’t get married to the idea of starting at a low level for this class.

Is there any plans on looking at the 1-60 wow gold grind in the future due to the expac coming next year?

It was mentioned at one of the panels that we do want to look at the leveling time for 1-60 cheap wow gold and make it a bit easier. We shall see how this plays out however.

Also, we haven’t decided on what level you will start as your Death Knight, but it seems that it should be easy enough for someone who has leveled a character to level 80 and done the quest to be able to adapt to a Death Knight fairly well. It’s not quite the same as handing it over to someone who is still learning the game. There are lots of opportunities for someone to solo and wow power leveling group to learn how to play the class.

All races can be Deathknights translates?

Lore-wise there’s really no reason why a specific race couldn’t become a Death Knight.

All races can be challenged mentally and physically, their will dulled, and be cast down into madness … and darkness. Their souls drawn into the runeblade they wield.

If you unlock the Deathknight class on one wow gold server, do you unlock it for all other servers too?

A lot of the questions surrounding how the Death Knight will be unlocked, how it becomes available, what the ‘unlocking’ actually accounts for (is it one time per unlock, the entire realm, the entire account, etc.), are all still questions we’re asking ourselves.

Why not add more than just the deathknight for the next expansion?

Death Knights are something we are very excited about implementing. A lot of people have built up thoughts on how they want the system to work, but if we add a bunch of Hero classes at once, it would greatly skew the balance that we have and on top of this lead to too much complexity in designing and balancing dungeons. We have to think very carefully about what will be the most fun for our players before we can make any final decisions on this.

We will provide more information on Death Knights when details have been finalized.

Sure, every character should get the opportunity to unlock the class. But I think every cheap woow gold race being able to *play* the class just totally destroys the “cool-ness” (for lack of a better term) of the class. I mean, Humans, Dwarves, Undead, and either (or both, I suppose) Orcs or Blood Elves, are understandable. But Night Elves and Tauren? Maybe it’s just me, but that totally destroys the sense of Lore behind the class. I think 2 races on each side should be the limit.

We’re very aware of the lore considerations. We are also aware of how it could be very unfair for those that would love to have a Death Knight to not be able to unlock it or have to level up fresh in order to get it.

As you know, we currently are allowing everyone to become one. There will be a method to the madness that will be evident for such corruption to have occurred as people progress through the questline to become one. I’m quite sure that Human Paladins aren’t the only ones that can be so tempted and corrupted by their own good intentions that they can end up becoming a Death Knight. We shall see however.

Yes, we have ideas of how we want things to work, but we are still working toward refining a lot of those ideas. I love seeing the discussion that is going on, but would caution everyone not to get too wrapped up in any one idea as a ‘must be or else’ type of thing. The Lich King is a seductive force to be reckonned with no matter who you are.

A lot of quests have a gold component packed in…in other words the player pays gold. I was wondering how much we will have to pay in the DK “quest” so we can start saving now.

I don’t know what quests you’re doing, but I generally receive gold for completing quests.

It’s too early to say how the Death Knight will be unlocked exactly, but as stated in a recent interview with Jeff, we’re looking at the possibility of not requiring a quest be completed at 80 at all, but just having a higher level character on the account or realm. It’s still too early in development to lock anything down, a lot is going to change, even if we have a good enough idea about something to have talked about it at BlizzCon.

We still have a lot of content coming for the game now, and while Wrath is definitely on the horizon, I wouldn’t put too much thought into preparing for it just yet.

The main thing is, people want to play something new. They feel that the Death Knight is their only choice. Never mind that they don’t have to play a Death Knight at all if they don’t wish to. There will be a need for their priests, paladins, warriors etc still. There will be new spells and abilities, new items, a new profession and more. There are more things that will be there to do than do the quest to become a Death Knight and then level one to 80 wow gold. No one is forcing anyone to play one, but we’d like to make the choice to play one readily available and intriguing for those that would love to play one.
