Level 55 Death Knight restriction going away by Adam Holisky In what seems like part of an antiquated system thats outlived its usefulness, the Death Knight creation restriction of needing a level 55 character or higher previously on the account is going away. This is mildly significant in that now a new player can create an account, load up a Death Knight, and jump right into Burning Crusade content. But obviously with the level 90 boost, theres more incentive for new players to skip even that bit and go right into Draenor. At the end of the day, is this really a big deal? Not so much. But its interesting, nonetheless. Nethaera With availability of the level 90 character boost, we feel the requirement to have a character level 55 or higher to unlock the Death Knight as a playable class is no longer relevant. The plan right now is to remove the limitation sometime next week, at which point players will be able to start a new Death Knight (which still begins at level 55) without first having to reach level 55 on another character.
