0. Death Knight Creation FAQ 06/10/2008 07:02:41 PDT

Q. What races can be a death knight?
A. Every race has the availability of being a death knight.

Q. Who is eligible to create a death knight?
A. Players who have at least one level 55 character on a realm may create a death knight on any realm, unless it is a fresh realm in which the transfer restrictions still apply. For such realms it is required to wait until the restriction is lifted, or to have a level 55 character or higher on the realm itself.

Q. Can I create a death knight on one realm and transfer it to another realm?
A. Yes, you will be able to transfer a death knight, using either a free character move or a paid character transfer, providing the death knight is level 60 or above. Normal fees still apply.

Q. Can I create a death knight on one account and transfer it to a new account?
A. Death knights can be transferred with the same fees and restrictions as any other character.

Q. Can I create a death knight on the opposite faction?
A. You will be able to create a death knight on the opposite faction provided that it is on a PvE realm. The standard restrictions for character creation apply for PvP realms.

Q. Is there a limit on how many death knights I can create?
A. You will only be able to have one death knight per realm at any one time. Should you delete a death knight, you will still be able to create a new one.

Q. What if I have a level 55 character on one realm but want to create a death knight on another realm to play with friends?
A. At the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, you will only be able to create a death knight on the same realm where you have an existing level 55 or higher character. In the future, we plan to allow the creation of a death knight on any realm (provided you have at least one level 55+ character).

Made me abit sad, was going to roll a deathknight on my boyfriend's realm :'[

Can i ask why the change for making a DK on the same realm as a 55+ char when originally it was per account? Now insted of doing beta testing and giving feedback/reporting bugs, i feel like i have to level up a char to 55 just to make a DK on my friends realm

Yeah, i'm sure all the Deathknights will choose to farm skins/herbs as soon as they're created.

Might I ask for the reasoning for this change? Not being able to create a DK on my friend's realm makes me a sad panda :(

If i create a DK, will i still have to get up my professions up from 0 to...or will i get it automatic up to to right skill level when u are 55 ?

I dont like the sight of myself going again through all of the lower-level zones just to level up my (just an example) herbalism skill...
