0. Account-Wide Death Knight Creation 09/01/2009 00:38:43 PST
With the next minor content update for World of Warcraft, we will be opening up death knight character creation so that if the account you play already has a level 55 or higher character in World of Warcraft, you will be able to create a new death knight on any realm within your region. Please keep in mind that restrictions still apply to new, non-transfer realms such that death knights cannot be created on those realms until you level a character to level 55 on that realm or until transfer restrictions are removed. For any players considering creating a new death knight, we wanted to give an early heads-up, in case you wished to create a new death knight on a realm other than the one where your characters currently reside.

Out of curiosity, has Blizzard considered that this change might lead to an imbalance in amount of DKs vs other classes on servers? Given that you are able to start a new character from 55 level right of the bat without having to grind it up is a pretty sweet deal.
I personally would go even as far to propose that you should make it possible for anyone who has reached a certain high level 55, 70 or 80 to create _any_ class and start it from 55 if you want to.

well, methinks the original plan was that there would be a balance between the dead fellas and any other heroic (not) classes that will be released, there's just way too long til' they get here, though

I'm an Alliance nut but I have always wanted to play he game from a Horde perspective... but the thought of leveling from 1 has always put me off abit.

this would be such an unbelievably bad idea. Though, given the way wow seems to be drifting more and more towards solo levelling, it wouldn't surprise me.
Thing is, at least in a game where grouping is encouraged, having people completely new to the game actually mixing with veterans who are just starting new characters would be great. The new people get to learn a bit about the game from the veteran, the veteran gets some help getting through their quests better.
Suddenly, all the veterans aren't making new characters. Where do the newcomers turn to for help getting started and such?
I know WoW is already heading in this direction anyway, but that's still no more reason to push it even further. It's an MMO game, that is Massively Multiplayer Online game. So bring on more ideas to bring people together I say, not more ideas to push them away from each other.

Now I can!! :D
Thats exactly what is going to happen.. No such thing as lvling anymore, give it time and blizzard will let you start any class from 55

In before the second Death Knight Spree.
Seriously. I thought they were dying out. Some don't even make it through Outland anymore.
Now this mess. I suspect we'll see a huge new wave; especially the new servers.

May as well do that, and take the opportunity then to redesign the old levelling areas,to something more fitting for higher level characters. Suggestible a mix of levels so the "old world" have content suitable for ALL levels (55+) since 55 would be minimum level with this system.

Hehe, as soon as a new server is released, if gets instantly SWARMED by DK's, who all wanna get all of them [First of server in Random Sphere of Nolife] achievements :D
All other classes simply have no chance to get any other of these achievements, but only [First of class to reach lvl 80].

This change will make it alot easier to level up alts on other realms. If you make an alt on your own server now you will be ble to send it money from your main but untill now you can´t do that on other servers if you don´t make a paid character transfer but now you can just make a dk kill some stuff and send the money to your low level alt. Will be interesting to see how this will affect the economy.

Then only one thing I'd like to know.
WHEN is this change going to happen?
Been waiting for this change for so long to get started with my Death Knight.
Hope it comes soon. :)
