WoW - 1 phrase that needs to be taken into account by blizzard

Blizzard needs to take into account 1 phrase before introducing the Death Knight class as a alliance/horde playable hero class.
"Death knights are always evil." They arent just screwing over WoW lore by making death knights do "good" things but also the entire death knight lore.
They should rename them to "Care knights" or "Knights that look dark and evil but realy arent,they like fluffly animals and they think pink is the new thing" ... id go with the 2nd because of what they plan to do to them.

It's hard to say considering we don't have much information on it yet. I don't recall Blizzard saying they are turning Death Knights into Care Packages.
They released this information yesterday. Slow the feck down. You don't even know how they're going to work yet.
Remember Wow is happening now, so the lore can change.. this is not LoTRO where the lore is fixed.
As said by the devs you'll be interacting with Arthus from day 1, we dont know whats happened in northrend after the climax of WC3:TFT and thats goona be a big part of the expansion telling us what has happened and some where in their are the death knights.
Making a decision on the class from a bullet point statment is idiotic.
Anything new is always ftw~
This comment alone is enough to tell me I won't be resubscribing. Arthas is supposed to be the most evil being in existence at this point, destroying not only his own race but that of the High Elves as well. He can't / wouldn't / shouldn't be interested in talking to me. I fully expected Arthas to be the next raid boss. At least that would have made sense.

I don't think we'll be going for scones and tea with Arthus
, the devs just said that unlike TBC where illidan was patched in 4 months after release with not much story or at-least the story is not obvious to non WC players, WoTLK is focused on Arthus and his activities and you'll get the story shoved down ya neck as soon as you step in northrend....wether you want it or not 
Whoa! Wait up just a second! Who said you were allowed to bring reason in here?
whoa, 50/50, Death Knights mus be the New York Yankees of WoW, half loves em, half hates em
The following statement is true: I just told a lie
the OP has a point tho...if they add the Death Knight class for alliance it makes the whole term "Death Knight" and everything it stands for virtually useless...its a crappy idea i think personally...they could have just added a alliance hero class of its own
I don't remember Alliance being "the good guys" i've played Wc3 and wasn't thrall the "good guy" in that and he was horde?
pretty sure there is no real good and evil but just different factions to the game.Both sides have Warlocks and those a pretty damn "evil".
IMO the class/race that makes the least amount of sense is an Undead Priest.
I think it is a terrible idea. For a few reasons: 1. Everyone will want to be one and soon enough everyone WILL be one 2. They will absolutely own up arena's. A team with a DK will easily have the upper-hand 3. It will pretty much replace the roles that warriors and rogues have in instances due to the fact that they can tank with 2h swords or dual wielding, which means they can tank and do alot of dps 4. Even if it is somewhat difficult to obtain a DK, once someone does and they become unbeatable 1 on 1, people will start complaining, and guess what will happen, Blizzard will nerf them defeating the entire purpose of having a DK
So in my opinion, they should defenitely not go through with this. I fail to see any good that could possibly come out of introducing them into WoW. (Other then to make the people who have them feel special)
well no Thrall was never a "good" guy, if you read all the lore (the stuff they never put in the games) the orcs only sided with the alliance temporary to defeat Archimonde and drive the legion back...the orcs are the main enemies of the alliance. And technically Warlocks arent intentionally evil, they are mages that wanted to practise the dark arts of magic. I have read many fantasy books that had a good band of heroes that contained a Warlock in it. Now Necromancers are the evil ones.
Yeah, it seems strange that they are making an evil class as part of all races without making a new faction. Maybe they should make a new faction involving all races in WoW that players can join sort of like a cult.
I also think it is too soon to release an expansion. Even if it is a year from now... Maybe they are just trying to distract us WoW players from Warhammer at our own expen$e. Lots of things about this expansion disturb me.
"The liberties and resulting economic prosperity that YOU take for granted were granted by those "dead guys"
Actually, I came across very, very few if any WoWers that were interested in lore. As long as it has "leet DPS" and had "bad arse uber gear" they could careless about the lore. Guild raids and 5 man instances...was all the same. It just amounts to who do we kill and what do I get for it to make my character the "ultimate pwnzer". Lore is trivial to most and want be given a second thought as to where DK fits into lore as long as it is "leet sauce" as they like to call it. Blizzard knows this too and will make DK unlockable for both Horde and Alliance. And people will pay for it but I pass and will wait for some real MMORPG to come out.
