    Huh? Worgen were running around in silverpine forest for a long time, there is no indication that dk's are required to be inhabitants of the plague lands. If that were the case then only humans and forsaken and blood elves should be death knights, along with a few dwarves maybe, because these are the only races that live in and around the plaque lands. Even in Wrath itself the LK recruited everything he deemed somewhat interesting and turned it into whatever he wants, be it deathknights or some other kind of abomination. Goblins are all over the place too, so them becoming deathknights begs the question why the LK deemed them worthy .

    Ogres surely could be DK's, Naga though is a bit of stretch, because they are very dangerous foes themself and their presence within the scourge definetly needs a retcon.

    All in all the racial restrictions are one of the few things blizzard has done well as far as I'm concerned. They still haven't allowed tauren rogues and the worst thing so far were some of the MoP constellations, which make sense considering the races have intermingled for quite some time and there is no reason to reject a tauren that wants to be a servant of the light. They also said no to panda dk's - thank god.

    The Pandaren "wanderers" roamed all around. There were even Pandaren in Northrend.

    "around the plaguelands", silverpine close enough to the plaguelands to allow powerful scourge members to transport specific heroes to any necropoli (naxx/acherus) that might be in the surrounding zones

    we know the naga couldnt have landed on the beach, as the only beach at the time was controlled by the scarlet crusade, and there was no evidence that naga had even visited that beach

    there was no evidence worgen or goblin were anywhere near the dk starting zone until cata, in fact that entire zone didnt even exist until wrath.

    just because a few managed to get into northrend, doesnt automatically mean that they visited lordaeron

    we know pandaren got to northrend because theres undeniably canon evidence of this happening, we dont have any undeniably canon evidence of them going to the eastern kingdoms at all beofre MoP

    already happened before.

    some naga worshiped neptulon, just have the naga faction we play as be worshipers of neptulon

    worgen escaped from shadowfang keep, thats been around since vanilla, the scourges reach stretched to silverpine in the form of the necromancer ravenclaw

    the goblins are from the steamweedle cartel, who had members stationed at light hope pre-cata, and had a flight master at the border of the thondoril river, which marks the border between the western/eastern plaguelands

    doesnt matter they werent there in wrath, that entire sub section of a zone didnt even exist until then. but in cata they made them exist.

    there is a beach, naga were in northrend, naga were in the isle of quel'danas when it was still being ruled over by the scourge, the entire top of northern lordaeron has easy access to the beach where murlocs minions of the naga and neptulon were, where there is murlocs there is naga nearby.

    your excuse for the worgen and goblin retcon works just as well for naga

    plenty of places for the scourge to get naga blizzard just needs to put one there

    i'd prefer the new races not be playable as death knights strictly due to the timeline of events it does not make sense.

    Does it impact my gameplay? no.
    Would i care enough to write blizzard an angry letter? no.

    then remake the starting zone.

    were draenei and blood elves kept from monks? no then death knights shouldnt be kept from new races.

    Draenei Monks actually give your request an enormous amount of credence. The monk trainer is so retconned in that he comments on how he was "just walking around and heard the loudest explosion of his life and suddenly there was this ship here."

    That said, I'm very much for adding a splinter faction of Naga who simply want to be free from the Old God's influence having the option of Death Knight with special flavor dialog from some of the NPCs around there to indicate how rare your race is among the Scourge. (Primarily Razuvious, Siouxsie and Mograine.) Same could go for Ogres. In fact, meeting Ogres in a Burning Legion expansion as a more organized, militarized group under a half-ogre would make them a viable Horde faction and allow Naga to be an Alliance faction taken in by the Night Elves. (In much the same way as they did the Highborn.)

    There are no more Ebon blade deathknights being made at all, not with the (arthas) lich king being dead and all that jazz.

    Monks have always been around, just never playable. (kinda like Belf warriors/druids and dwarf mages/druids)
    If you can't make fun of something, its probably not worth taking seriously.

    Poor DKs not having enough race variety, I feel so sorry for you guys!
    Try being a Paladin, Alliance Paladins haven't gotten a new race since BC.

    lorewise the scarlet lands have ALWAYS been there, and its acherus' goal to kill them all, and lorewise worgen have always been in close contact to scourge since classic, and lorewise goblins have been in the plaguelands since classic, and lorewise the pandaren/naga have never been near any scourge which could move their corpses to acherus for reanimation into a death knight

    the scourge DIDNT rule over quel'danas, the legion had a larger hold over the isle than the scourge did

    the only scourge there were mindless and leaderless, and so wouldnt have had the presence of mind to send naga corpses to acherus, acherus was also resurrecting heroes from the plaguelands and surrounding areas, as evidenced in the starter zone by corpses being unloaded and raised from wagons, which logically leads to the assumption that the corpses were taken from nearby, if they HAD used corpses from further afield they wouldnt have bothered to hold them in wagons

    those murlocs were never specified to be under the control of naga, only a few groups of murlocs have been shown to be linked (aka made slaves) to the naga

    that wasnt an excuse NOR was it a retcon, as there were pre-existing explanations for goblin/worgen Dks as there were goblin/worgen corpses in scourge-occupied areas that could transport those corpses to a necropolis

    northrend could be the only place the scourge could easily acquire naga corpses (although they would be more rotted than a twice-killed forsaken), however there is no evidence acherus stopped at northrend to acquire corpses to be raised as a death knight

    not true and not true.

    one of the reasons metzen gave for worgen death knights being playable is that basically "necromancy didnt go away when the lich king died" so if the ebon blade arent doin it SOMEBODY is making death knights either by force or by recruitment.

    and monks (brewmasters before mists) was a class/profession pretty much exclusively used by dwarves and pandaren, the only monks that existed were holy monks which have no relation to brewmaster monks.

    and maybe if you read the daily quests or any of the quel'danas lore then you would know that there were no demons there at all until kael'thas returned in the last patch and summoned them there, which is why they had to retake the island from the scourge who kael'thas left the island to after he destroyed the sunwell and left for outland back when it was corrupted.

    thosde scourge were under the command of dar'khan who was in charge of all scourge operations north of epl, which means pre ghostlands quest those scourge DID have a leader and were not just walking around doing nothing

    recruited by ebon blade after the lich king was dead, and the mists of pandaria had fallen? then what sense would any of the dk starting quests make?

    actually im correct, lorewise that subzone has always existed, gameplay-wise that zone hasnt existed until wrath

    only a select few can create dks (baroness anastari who we killed in stratholme is the only one shown who could do this other than the lich king)

    dar'khan was in control of the scourge in the ghostlands/eversong woods, he was also killed before by blood elf adventurers before the naga/legion/shattered sun invaded quel'danas (belfs have to kill dar'khan to get into the horde>they go to outland with the horde>we 'kill' kael'thas> he flees to quel'danas bringing his belfs and starts summoning the legion>shattered sun and naga pursue him)
