Questions for people from WotLK Beta about Death Knight starting area and multiboxing

[Caspian]

The DK starting area is open now, you can ride through Tyr's hand into the area. But, because of the new phased technology your DK will see it differently then another character would. I did not try to ride into the area as a non DK or out as a DK so I am not really sure how it would work. I know in the quest chain, when you go out you are at LHC, but that is phased as well. I think it is normal after it ends, with no zoning needed. I also know that in the phasing you see can other players on different phases, sometime even NPC spell affects (though that might have been a bug). Just try when it comes out and see if it works you get a little jump. If not, no big deal.

if you go running over there with any other char, all you find is tyrs hand riddled with elites and the area where the DK quests are done is basically abandoned. if you try riding out of the area with the DK, you hit an invisible wall thats about 100yds or so outside of tyrs hand gate. Once your complete all the quests and are "reborn" and no longer under the control of arthas, youre free to go where you want and do what you want. you'll have one more phased instanced the first time you go back to ebon hold (event and small chain sending you to your race leader for "redepmtion"), and after that its business as normal.

You'd want to do it to grant him 5 RAF levels, and hearth back in, completing the DK sequence (even) easier, and perhaps ending at level 61-62, instead of 58

hmmm...i think itd be unnecessary. maybe when youre past the initial string of events and quests and start questin in outlands or something. i think the starting quests for the DK are simple enough as they are and if they were any easier it would lose some of its fun factor. *shrug* just my .02

Well, right in the RAF section on Blizzard's site, it says you can use your RAF levels to boost a Death Knight.

I'm not sure if it would be as simple as inviting them to your group, and then boosting via r-clicking on their portrait, or if you'd have to physically be near the toon.

Will death knights be able to take advantage of the bonus levels?


Yes,death knights will be able to receive bonus levels, too. But keep in mind that death knights start at level 55 and players stop receiving bonus experience at level 60.

Also, I'm not sure if you could boost a DK from 55 to 60, or if you'd have to wait until the DK is 57 or 58 and receives only 2 or 3 levels of boosting.
