When the new expansion for World of Warcraft launched back in November of 2008, everyone was incredibly excited to try out their new Death Knight, the first new character class to hit the game since the game launched in 2004 and an admittedly very cool looking and sounding option for nearly anyone that enjoyed either casting or melee play. Three months later, many players are still using their Death Knights, but there is also a sharp uptake in the number of changes being made to the class and the perceived usefulness of any one spec for the class. Here are a few of the more pronounced changes that have been coming:

Class Balancing

The first thing that most players said when they first tried out their Death Knights was how overpowered the class obviously was. Powering through five, six, or seven enemies at a time with a ghoul and gargoyle by your side, self healing options, and a whole lot of armor made the game very easy in solo mode. Northrend was a little harder, but not much and when Season 5 started up, it was evident that the Death Knight would remain overpowered in many ways.

So, balancing out that power has been a major issue for Blizzard and a goal of many recent patches. The game continues to throw new changes into the mix as the class loses some talents, gets others restructured and others buffed to make up for nerfs. PvP balance is still highly on the Death Knight’s side and it is expected that changes to the class in PvE will probably not happen any time soon.

Number of Death Knights

With caps on realms and creation of Death Knights currently lifted, even more of them started to show up on different servers. However, the number of actual Death Knights being played has leveled out a bit as many players have gone back to mains or alts as new content has dwindled. The game will continue balance out as well as players realize how hard the Death Knight can be to play and as many players start making changes to their basic account makeups.

The Death Knight remains a major draw for many players and will maintain its dominance on many servers for weeks and months to come and has many players already salivating to know what the next major Hero Class will be.

The Death Knight is the ultimate new character class in World of Warcraft.

In the world of Azeroth, the Horde and the Alliance are opposing enemies stuck in a struggle for control of the land and neither side is backing down. Both sides are looking for total control of the land. Both sides will not give up, and the battle is endless!

Horde and Alliance players can fight each other, but are unable to group together, trade, or even talk to each other. This keeps enemies from conflicting, and possibly becoming allies. To put it in simple words they are 100% enemies. This can cause some problems, but overall the World of Warcraft Characters are amazing. If you wish to play with your friends make sure you select the same races that belong to the same group, so you can become allies and fight together. Your World of Warcraft Characters could be either Horde or Alliance, so choose wisely.

On Player Vs. Player mode you can only create characters from one of the two races.
Horde Races: ORCS, TAUREN, TROLLS, UNDEAD, BLOOD ELVES
Alliance Races: HUMANS, DWARVES, GNOMES, NIGHT ELVES, DRAEN

The first step is to create your character:
Your first step before entering the Warcraft Universe is to choose your character. This means his or her race, the gender, and the “class”. You might want to do some research before deciding on some of the choices because it may effect you in the long run. The gender’s of the characters don’t effect it’s abilities at all. Meaning if you have a female character it’s not “weaker” then the male character.

Customize Your Appearance
The 2nd step is to customize your character, this is where things get interesting! All characters have different hairstyles, hair colors, and skin colors. That is directly your choice, and once again it will not impact the abilities of the character. The only reason for this is to customize the character on how you want it to look ( Some look awesome). The only way the World of Warcraft characters abilities are impacted is through different choices you make throughout your game play. Some other things you can customize is their facial appearance, things like ear rings and other stuff. If you find this is boring and is taking up your time, simply click the “randomize” button to randomize your character’s appearance. This will take seconds and will give you a random character.

Your last step is to create a name! The name you choose will represent you to everyone you meet in the Warcraft Universe, so don’t be stupid! Make sure you don’t violate any of the rules because getting banned is not fun.

Once you finished choosing your name your ready to enter the world! Click the “Enter World” tab to enter the World of Warcraft! As you can see the World of Warcraft Characters are simply amazing. No other game has characters like World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft simply take’s creating your character and role-playing to the next level.
