Welcome to 2009, which I am, completely buy wow gold arbitrarily, declaring the year of the Death Knight. Sure, Death Knights were first announced back in 2007, but 2008 was when they took shape and showed up in playable form, and 2009 will be the first full year that they've been on the live servers. Let's look back then, at 2008, and see some of the milestones in the creation of my favorite new class and yours.
Calm before the Storm

The first Death Knight article to be posted on WoW Insider in 2008 came on the first of January, dealt with the fear of many that Death Knights would be so awesome that everyone would roll buy wow gold one, and there'd be no-one to play the "normal" classes. Such a fear, I think, hasn't come to past. There are many like me who did shelve their old characters to play their Death Knight, of course, but I still see more than enough of most other classes in the game. Well, I could use a few more healers, but that's what the next expansion is for, right? Still, it's nice to see this fear finally laid to rest. There's plenty of room for all classes in WoW after all.

Coming a few months later was a gallery wrap up that showed what we knew about Death Knights so far. Interestingly enough, it's not as different from the final product as I might have buy wow gold though. Most of the basic mechanics are in place. Even Unholy Embrace at least got a cameo in the form of Plague Strike's ability to strip HoTs.
