World of Warcraft Death Knight Creation Expanded

A post on Blizzard's World of Warcraft forums brings word that players will soon have fewer restrictions when earning the ability to create a Death Knight character.
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.

If you have any further questions on creating a death knight, please see the FAQ:
