Interesting interview.
buffed: Have you already decided which race the Death Knight will be based on? If one plays a Gnome, will the Death Knight be a Gnome too?
Jeff: Yes, we have already made a decision. But do not be surprised if we decide to change our minds. You know, game design is a very flexible job. Right now, every race can become a Death Knight, even Gnomes. We have thought about some things since BlizzCon. Characters most likely will not have to be level 80 to unlock the Death Knight, it will probably be earlier. Levelling to level 80 like a maniac to unlock the Death Knight is simply not fun. It makes people rush through the game. That is why we will make it differently. We have many ideas, but we have not decided on one yet. Maybe the Death Knight will be unlocked between level 55 and 60. Then you create your Death Knight and face some challenges. If you have mastered them, you will get your Death Knight.

This is why you see us constantly telling people that things could change. We don't want people getting married to an idea and then having them be upset about it changing.
We're still fleshing out the ideas we have because we want to make what we do not only make sense but make sense in a way that it maximizes the fun factor.
Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it.

Q u o t e:
You make it sound as if this is a bad change ... In reality this is a wonderful change. Good call on the developer's part.
LOL.. Not saying it's a bad idea, no. Just letting people know this important consideration with all of our pre-release information right now while they are reasonably in a good mood. ;)

Q u o t e:
Ok I have to lorelol on this. Death Knights are corrupted Paladins. That means a death knight class should only be:
Dwarf
Human
Blood Elf
Death Knights are not all corrupted Paladins. This is something that people assume because Arthas was one. Death Knights are those that make a choice to become so either through coersion of good intentions going badly or even conscientious choice.
We have a lot of ideas of how we can better help people make that transition to Death Knight meaningful enough that people not only understand how it's possible, but how to play the Death Knight. Once we've fleshed those out more, we'll let people know about them. Right now they are mostly just possibilities and "wouldn't it be cool if".
