    Play a Death Knight in Wrath of the Lich King Classic and Get a Mount in WoW

    Play a Death Knight in Wrath of the Lich King Classic and Get a Mount in WoW
    Blizzard has added a mount for players that complete the Death Knight starting experience in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

    The pre-patch for Wrath of the Lich King Classic is now live, and with it, players can play as the Death Knight Hero Class before making their way into the frozen lands of Northrend to confront the Lich King. Players who play through the complete Death Knight starting experience* in Wrath of the Lich King Classic will earn the Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm** to carry them through their adventures in Shadowlands and beyond into the upcoming Dragonflight expansion.

    Few proto-dragons were considered part of the frostbrood—only those that were risen from powerful remains, the members of long forgotten draconic flights.


    Learn more about the Death Knight Hero Class in our article.

    *Requires completion of the quest "Where Kings Walk" on Alliance characters or "Warchief's Blessing" on Horde characters.
    **Mount not available in World of Warcraft® Classic titles.

    Yesterday:
    Classic servers are very unstable, hour long queues, you can't create characters on certain realms anymore, some realms are literally at their cap, etc..

    Today:
    Play Classic to get a free Retail mount.

    I literally just finished this yesterday, I assume it will count for people that have already done it?

    Just checked and got the mount, happy days.

    Do you normally just post in threads without reading the original post?

    If it doesn't use the new dragon riding mechanics it'll be completely pointless. Looks awesome though, be a shame to to waste it by just having it act as a normal mount. No one will use it in Dragonflight.

    Have some people resubbing for a cool mount, have them pay a sub until DF comes out if they get hooked on Classic.

    The retail andys are going to create a DK on any of the dead realms without a queue for the hour or two it takes to do the DK starting quests. This isn't going to add to the queues at all.

    Well, it's a cool mount that everyone who plays retail can get in just a couple hours. No complaints from me, even though I'm staying unsubbed until DF prepatch.

    How long will it take to earn the mount, if you create a DK from scratch?
    Fact (because I say so): TBC > Cata > Legion > ShaLa > MoP > DF > BfA > WoD = WotLK

    I get that, but I had no idea if it started FROM today or counted achievements since the release of the pre-patch, guess I better think twice about posting "silly shit" as to not upset the little forum kids like yourself, calm down.
