Not too brave...
Does anyone really choose to be a Death Knight? I mean in terms of the lore. It's not something you really wake up one morning and just "do". I figure that for a gnome named Goob it probably wouldn't be something he's looking forward to, hence his display of leg-propelled cowardice here.
But really, looking at some of the things Death Knights can do, I'm not sure I'd be so worried about what you're put through to get there. I mean, considering what some are made to do, the trade off of glowing eyes might be enough to sway me alone...
On a personal and more serious note, yours truly got the Lich King for Christmas, or rather is getting the Lich King for Christmas as soon as my father decides I can actually have it. They came through and stayed at my house with my wife and I for a night on their way to his wife's family in Minnesota. I was taunted with it, and have to wait until they're on their way back around New Year's before I can actually have it.
Makes me feel like a kid waiting for A Link to the Past all over again. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all. Hope yours was a good one. Despite my lack of Arthas-endowed gaming, mine certainly was.
Cheers!
