http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2008/12/deathknight-on-parade-yay.jpg (http://www.wowwiki.com/Death_knight)This installment of All the World's a Stage (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/all-the-worlds-a-stage/) is the eighteenth in a series of roleplaying guides (http://wowinsider.com/tag/roleplaying-lore-guides) in which we find out all the background information you need to roleplay a particular race or class well, without embarrassing yourself.
Originally I had planned to write about death knights only after I had written about all the other classes, as a way of wrapping up and rounding out this whole series of articles (http://wowinsider.com/tag/roleplaying-lore-guides) about the lore behind the playable races and classes of World of Warcraft. But then ZuWho (http://www.wowinsider.com/profile/2263491/) posted a comment (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/14/all-the-worlds-a-stage-so-you-want-to-be-a-priest/1#c16148315) on my last article (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/14/all-the-worlds-a-stage-so-you-want-to-be-a-priest/) specifically requesting me for my thoughts on death knights -- and even used the word "pleeeaase!" So of course I'm always a sucker for such polite requests, especially comments like this with really insightful questions. Today we'll look specifically at these questions and see what possible answers come to mind.
To a certain extent, we already covered a number of possibilities (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/06/08/all-the-worlds-a-stage-how-to-be-a-death-knight/) for death knight characters about 6 months ago (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/06/01/all-the-worlds-a-stage-how-roleplaying-a-death-knight-will-be/). However, while most of those possibilities are still valid, there was so much we didn't know about the player-character death knight lore at that time, and there are definitely some points that need updating.Continue reading All the World's a Stage: So you want to be a Death Knight (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/21/all-the-worlds-a-stage-so-you-want-to-be-a-death-knight/)
