– Return of the Death Knights: Available to both factions and starting at level 55, Death Knights, World of Warcraft’s premier hero class, use the powers of darkness to battle the evil that plagues Azeroth.
– New profession – Calligraphy: this new profession allows you to create mystical glyphs that modify the appearance and properties of spells and techniques, as well as to craft powerful jewelry and off-hand items.
– Unlocked Achievements: Achievements are making an appearance in WoW Classic, and will recognize the exploits of players with a series of new rewards.
– Dungeons and Raids: Adventure-seeking souls can relive iconic 5-player dungeons such as Azjol-Nerub and the Purging of Stratholme, and lay siege to Naxxramas in a 10-player raid, a refresh from its 40-player version players present before the release of the extension.
– Players will also be able to create Death Knights in a content update leading up to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King Classic. The creation of the first death knight will not be subject to any prerequisites or restrictions. (However, to create other death knights on a given server, it will be necessary to have a character of at least level 55.)
– Players who don’t have characters ready to face the dangers of Northrend will be able to take advantage of an optional Level 70 Key to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King Classic. Further details, including pricing and availability information, will be announced at a later date.
There was also an announcement trailer, which brings back good old memories:
