Death Knight - WotLK
I've heard alot of stuff on the Official WoW forums about how the Death Knight class is going to be attainable, but I'm not sure that I rely on them.

Has Blizzard announced anything on how the Death Knight class is going to be attainable? If so, I would like to know.

Thanks in advance.

From what I understand, once you have a level 80 character, you will be able to create a death knight. It will start out at level 55-60 and will be a separate character from your main.

Nothing specific yet. What is sort of known, is that the Death Knight will need to be "unlocked", apparently, per server (but it might be per account). The Death Knight will start at a relatively higher level (the estimate is level 55 - 70), and it seems that it will be the same level you need to have a character to be able to unlock the Death Knight (with the idea being that if it requires a level 60 to unlock it, you can continue with that level 60, and/or play a level 60 Death Knight.

Blizzard's people did say they don't want it to require someone to get to level 80 in order to make a Death Knight. Most of this information can be found in the news archive of this site, but might take a bit of searching.

I hope they give us one more character slot. I will have to sacrifice my bank alt if they do not.

There was a blue-post sometime ago that said they weren't leaning towards converting the unlocking char into the deathknight. Something about not making people give up their mains or grind alts just to make a dk

They stated at Blizzcon that you would not convert your existing toon into a DK but unlock the ability to create one at a fairly high level. The rest seems in flux.I've heard that you will need to be 80 to unlock the DK, that you will be able to do it sooner, etc.

I doubt that they'll give people 70 or below the ability to create a death knight. It would be a good way to ease the class in... you have to be 7x or 80, so people will level, then do the quest chain (it seems fairly certain it will be a chain), then get DK at some high level.
