Death knight races



The death knight is available to all races on any server. When originally released, death knights could only be made on a server that had a level 55 or higher character on it; this restriction was lifted in patch 3.0.8, and now death knights can be made on any server, provided there is at least one level 55 or higher character on your account.

Note: There is still a restriction to one Death Knight per realm.

Races
As the Lich King did not discriminate when raising those who fell against him, any race can be a death knight.

The Cataclysm races, Worgen and Goblins, will also be allowed to become death knights. Worgen death knights were former followers of Arugal in Silverpine Forest, whereas goblin death knights originated with the Steamwheedle Cartel.
