Think of the game as a book. When you are level one, you're on the first page of the book. When you're at the level cap, you're at the last page of the book. Essentially, when you take your character from a max level zone back to a lower level one, you're turning back the pages of the book. When you read a book, and turn the pages back, you still know what you've already read right? Even if you start reading a book all over again, you don't forget what happens at the end just because you turned back a few pages.
So if we use levels to represent pages, the events of the Death Knight starting zone happen on page 55, while Arthas doesn't die until page 80.
Goblins: They roam everywhere, they could have easily been exploring somewhere and have been caught unawares by a mob of scourge or by necromancers of the Cult of the Damned.
Worgen: Worgen have been roaming the lands of Azeroth since the game came out, as early as page 10 (Silverpine forest). And if the Worgen curse was able to get into Gilneas, even after Genn closed it off, who's to say some Gilneans didn't get fed up with their imprisonment behind the Greymane Wall? Who's to say your character didn't take a little stroll to see how things were outside of Gilneas? If you're a Worgen anyway, I'm sure a few cliffs are no match for the agility of a Werewolf.
This means that Goblins and Worgen exist during the events of Acherus and therefore have as much chance as any other race to have been captured by the scourge and turned into a Death Knight.

Metzen said it.
I guess that's a pretty cool way to respond. Would have worked better if I had used something bigger than "valid" though. I didn't know that it was so overwhelming and difficult to understand.Originally Posted by Lansworthy

Alright, well anyways: As people said, there is no lore reason. There is no excuse for why they are able to be DKs. It's just to give the players more choices.
In an evolving game, many things stop making sense after a while. Lore and gameplay butt heads every step of the way.
One way we can look at it?
You're a happy goblin who has been shipwrecked, probably because of the Cataclysm. You join the Horde, and start to explore the world and see the devastation caused by Deathwing. While exploring the Eastern Plaguelands, you pull one too many skeletons and you die. Your body is placed in a wheelbarrow and taken to Archeus. You have potential, so Arthas resurrects you.
You are freed from Arthas by Darion/the event at Light's Hope. It sucks here on Azeroth, what with Arthas and Deathwing blowing things up, but you are told that a slightly less powerful evil resides in Outland, where Illidan is still preparing an invasion. You pick the lesser of the evils and go to Outland. You hit 68. At this point, you can assume you have done enough and you can return to Azeroth, knowing enough setbacks have been put in place for someone else to deal with Illidan. Or you can stay there, hit 70, find a bunch of people, and kill Illidan. Regardless, there is nothing left for you to do in Outland (or there are more important things to be done in Azeroth, now that you are stronger).
Enter Northrend. Arthas taunts you in every zone. It's tragic what Deathwing is doing to Azeroth, but right now the Lich King needs to be dispatched. You hit 78. At this point you can assume you have done enough to start dealing with Deathwing, or you can stay, gear up, find some friends, and try to end Arthas' reign of evil. If you don't- assume someone else has, and that Deathwing is now the last threat (and you're powerful enough to finally do something about it).
There. You're a level 80 Goblin DK who is ready for the Cataclysm.
It's possible to have more than one "big bad" at a time.
Re-visitation of those old instances however, needs to be a leap of faith. Blizzard can't remove them just because an expansion has come out or you've killed it already. It's already a small stretch of the imagination to kill a boss every day or week without him ever dying, so let's not ask any silly questions like "Why can I still go back and kill Illidan every day if he's already dead?".
You can also apply this scenario to a Worgen.
This is all assuming that Blizzard doesn't add any additional lore to support Death Knights. This was just using the in-game lore, combined with a small leap of faith, and a little ingenuity.
Dart Matsuraki also has a good way of explaining it. The world moves as you do.
Keep in mind though- as with any MMO, you will destroy your own experience if you try and consider the achievements of everyone else. There is no possible way to explain having people killing Arthas while you're still watching him laugh at Drakuru. Trying to argue or explain that is pointless.
Because when your high and you play WoW it's so cool all the colors and shit, doing anything else high just isn't fun.Originally Posted by DocKro

Becuase they can. Get it over it.
Same reason why DKs go to outland, and why UC has different guards for everyone, etc.
You are an idiot.Originally Posted by Lymphocyte
