Reader Dan sent us this image straight from the Wrath of the Lich King beta -- and we'd love to have your beta screenshots, too! If you have anything our readers might like, sharing it is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. And, please, no more sunsets!

If you think that's bad, wait till people start rolling gank knights on pvp servers for the sole purpose of griefing lowbies.

Remember though, one per server, and you gotta do all that work to 80 before you can make 'em (Unless they changed that).

It seems like (*spoiler warning*) Death Knights start out in an instanced version of Ebon Hold, and have to complete a long quest chain to earn their talent points, unlock Rune Forging, and - probably, I'm not sure - access to uninstanced Azeroth.
After all, it wouldn't make much sense for Death Knights to be able to interact with the rest of the world until they cut their ties with the Scourge faction.

I hope that doesn't come to pass come launch after the initial hype for them dies out i would love to have one as my main but seeing as everyone is upset about what they are getting in Wrath they all seem to want to remain to a DK. Either way its a pretty cool shot to see a death knight line up!

I can hardly wait for the "4 Death Knights LF Heals, pst" posts in trade. Makes me glad I'm rolling a mage.

If you play anything but a Death Knight there is no reason to be in Menethil at all. So, this doesn't prove anything ;)

So how about sunsets in the Beta?

When they release WotLK, I'm respeccing my Prot Pally into the Holy tree. Getting groups will be the easiest thing in the world... considering the amount of "Deathards" out there. (I know that's not a word, but it sounds cool and precise).

This particular image reminds me of a 10-mage warsong gulch battle I saw on youtube.
Also, #3
that solves quite a bit of mystery for me, involving the scourge and how DK's are getting trained by them.

I downloaded (and watched) a video where a guy did the entire DK starting area. You start in a floaty castle place (Ebon Hold) where you're greeted to service by the Lich King, get your runesword, learn Runeforging, then go down to another area and do your starting quests (all deliciously evil btw), get your mount, and do a cool assault on some Scarlet Crusaders and finally... There's an awesome Lore part and booya! You're a free DK.
I'm rolling one, even if I have to get my pally to 80 first. They look too fun to pass up.

To be expected, I suppose. Only one new class in the expansion, and despite it being a tank/DPS hybrid, you just know the majority won't spec for tanking.
A whole new expansion to permanently keep looking for that elusive tank for 5/10/20-mans.

DK LF4M, have tank, heals and DPS.
/sigh
Smooth move ex-lax, create ONE new class to play with. I swear Blizzard has donkey balls for brains. No offense to anyone who does in fact have donkey balls.
