Death Knight

Q u o t e:
Will you get an extra char DK or will it replace a char you have....I have heard both ways

You will be able to create a new death knight. You do not replace one character for another.

I thought I'd try to clear up a few things in this thread.

At one point, we did say that there was a possibility of players needing to get to 80 to create a Death Knight, but we decided that making such a requirement would only cause players to level up a character to 80 that they didn't intend to play. This seemed to go against the idea of playing to have fun.

We also said there would be a quest line to become a death knight. This is still true but perhaps not in the way people took it to be. You will be able to create a death knight which starts at level 55, but you will still be taken through a quest line that teaches you a little about how to play a death knight as well as gets you your spells and talent points in bite sizes rather than overwhelming you from the start. The quest line also gives you a bit more insight about your story as a death knight, sets the stage, and sends you on your way once it completes.

At this point in time, we are not planning to give players an additional character slot. I've been advocating selective deletion if you don't have the room on a particular realm. Could this change? Yes, but currently, this is the plan.

You will not need to convert a character into a death knight. It is a separate character from any of your other ones.

You will be able to create a death knight as long as you have a level 55 character on a realm. You will be able to create a death knight of either faction no matter what faction your 55 character is, however, if you are on a PvP realm, you can expect the usual rules to apply as far as creating cross-faction characters.

Q u o t e:


Neth, can you clear this question up?

If you have a level 55 character on say Windrunner realm could you make a Death Knight on say Elune realm?

At this point in time, you just need a 55 on a realm and you can create a death knight on any other realm. We'll let you know if there is any change to this thinking.
