Filed under: Death Knight, Wrath of the Lich King, Rumors

Though that is the merest shred of a rumor, it’s a nice suitable notion that I think it’s worth a post anyway. DeathKnight.info is passing on the speculation that possibly, just possibly, this weekend’s announcement (or one of them) is going to be that the Death Knight class will be playable before Wrath of the Lich King’s release, to those who pre-order Wrath. It sounds a bit foolish, given that the Death Knight is one of the banner features of Wrath, but there are a few points riding in its favor:

• You only need a level 55 to create a DK
• It would assuage concerns of everybody and their dog rolling a DK on the day of the Wrath release, since whether the class was released (say) next month, or even in a few months, many of us would have instance to get a DK to 70 before Wrath’s release, to see whether we liked the class and so forth
• It would give those of us who have exhausted the current substance something to do for the next few months
• The eyes revealed in today’s teaser image could easily be sinister Death Knight eyes

Allegedly, a post on that subject was nuked by the CMs in the official forums earlier today. However, even whether that is what the post was about, speculating on unreleased substance is explicitly forbidden by the forum terms of service, so the post would have removed whether or not it was accurate. Thus that is still solidly speculative. But we can dream. Now I don’t know which I’m hoping for: Diablo 3 or sooner Death Knights. Not that there’s any reason they can’t do both.
