Computer and Video Games has posted the second part of the PC Zone interview with Jeff Kaplan, the lead designer for World of Warcraft.  The interview has some great stuff on the Wrath of the Lich King expansion!

Another change to the expansion format is the introduction of Hero Classes, the first of which is the Death Knight, examples of whom were the Lich King's work experience chaps in Warcraft III. In the spirit of balance, though, this character won't be immediately available, requiring legwork to unlock it fully.

"While originally we planned for characters to become Death Knights, we felt that players shouldn't be required to lose the character they've played for so long," explains Kaplan.

"Instead, we're looking at how we can involve players in the story of freeing a Death Knight from the Lich King's grasp through a quest chain. Once complete, this will allow a player to create new high-level Death Knight characters."

There's lots more fun stuff, so check it out!
