Well, I have heard many things about the starting area for the Death Knights, and I have to say, its not too bad after all. I was slightly worried that it would either be way over the top, unlike other areas, or that it would be just as drab and dull as the level 1 experience. Fortunately, Blizzard has done well to mix the experience quite nicely. So far there has been some very normal "collect stuff" quests, some "kill [x] things [y] times," and there have also been some fun event-type quests that are really easy and fun, but add to the story and give you that badass feeling that you want as a death knight.
One thing I absolutely LOVE is that Blizzard GIVES Death Knights the epic ground mount, and they get it before 60. Had they not done this, it would be quite a tragedy, but as it stands, it works just perfectly. Not only that, but its a stinkin' cool mount too.
Next post I'll talk about specs and leveling in a little more detail, but so far the starting area has been quite fun.
