Bornakk has clarified some information about the Death Knight class today. The two key pieces of information he tells us are:- Death Knights will start at a level less than 70, but Blizzard wants them to be able to get into Northrend "a little faster".
- Converting a preexisting character to a Death Knight has been ruled out.
Bornakk also waxes philosophical about the decision to not have a character convert into a Death Knight. He says that "Leveling a character just to throw it away doesn't really fit [fun game play] very well." He also expects that Death Knights will "find their way" into raid groups just as the Paladins and Shamans did on the Horde and Alliance with the release of Burning Crusade.
While this news on the Death Knight is really just clarification of some previously released information, it does provide a good insight into what Blizzard is thinking about the class. WoW Insider will have all the latest on the Death Knight and Wrath of the Lich King, so stay tuned!
