Blizzard poster Wryxian has posted a Death Knight Creation FAQ on the O-Boards. While most players excited about this class may already know most of these answers, it's nice to have the official Blizzard responses to these commonly asked questions.

Players must have at least one level 55+ character to create a death knight of any race, and the DK may only be created on the same realm as that 55+ character for the launch of Wrath of the Lich King. According to Wryxian, the opportunity to create a DK on any server, provided you have a 55+ character, will be implemented in the future.

As for a creation limit on death knights, Wyrxian said, "You will only be able to have one death knight per realm at any one time. Should you delete a death knight, you will still be able to create a new one."

For the full FAQ, check here or keep reading below. They have also been posted in our death knight forum.

According to Blizzard poster Ghostcrawler, the mana cost of Fireball, Frostbolt, Frostfire Bolt, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, and Arcane Explosion will be reduced as a result of the fact that mages are still having mana problems. Here's Ghostcrawler's post :

We think mages are still having mana problems and don't want to reduce Evocation's cooldown anymore. Nor do we want to buff mage armor too much more or using e.g. molten armor seems pointless.

Instead, we reduced the mana cost on Fireball, Frostbolt, Frostfire Bolt, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, and Arcane Explosion.

What do you think about the mana problems plaguing mages? Discuss it in our mage forum .

Allakhazam poster RPZip has pointed out that Bornakk, a Blizzard poster on the O-Boards, has confirmed that all monsters in The Burning Crusade raid dugeons have had their health reduced considerably, and many of them will have their standard melee damage reduced, as well. This is "to provide a smooth transition when the upcoming patch is released."
