Sometimes, Blizzard is willing to kick the lore square in the nuts when it comes to game mechanics. The Death Knight class is a hero class, it's supposed to be for every race.
So yes, complete 'lolore'. But besides roleplayers and creepy lore fanatics, who gives a damn?
So its better to cater to the stupid people who play wow rather then those with a drop of common sense? Why give warcraft such a rich lore just to flush it down a toilet?

Blizzard said at Blizzcon that they
know
lorewise it is not possible, but they thought it's a fun addition anyways. Personally, I don't care.

Oh my god, not this again.
Do I *REALLY* have to give the explanation once more? Honestly?
Edit: For kicks: Read

Its not better to cater to them but they already are so why stop now? Haven't you seen the ICC buff? :(
sometimes I wish they would have separate EZ Mode servers for badkids

There are goblins that are a part of the Horde already, so that makes sense. And the worgen are simply game mechanic. Please stop trying to explain this lorewise and accept that fact. Its just like how 10 people can kill the Lich King, and five lvl 80s could kill Onixya - before her encounter was redone.

No offense, but it's really not that hard to wrap your head around as it may sound.
Your level = the time.
Everything I say beyond that will be a mindless repetition of the countless other posts I've done on the subject.

If this had too be explained for the 3rd time then a lock here would be correct.

This ^^
I suppose I am a roleplayers and creepy lore fanatics
While I have no problem w/ Goblin And Worgen DK's... I hate reactions like that. Ronaruudo... STFU.

What does lore have to do with EZ mode. Don't confuse the two.

Blizzard already said they don't have a basis in Lore, they merely are there to give them, like the other 10 races, a Death Knight. I'm sure there lots of ways to explain it; Wulfcult, rogue worgens outside the wall, but seriously, there are goblins everywhere in Azeroth, it's possible some member of the Bilgewater sailed away from the island and were captured and killed.
Beyond that, meh, just accept it, it's coming, it's in game and nothing is going to change it.

In most cases yes, but not in an absolute sense.
The Death Knight opening storyline will likely continue to take place just prior to WotLK, despite the fact that everything else from 1-60 is moved to post-WotLK. Heck the plaguelands are being redesigned specifically to show the scourge in retreat thanks to the defeat of Arthas.
This has the paradoxical effect of making 60-80 take place earlier then 1-60. Hopefully Blizzard will eventually take steps to rectify this, but it probably won't happen before the release of Cataclysm.

Read this (and the posts linked to in it), and it should make sense:

ya, but im thinking they need to update the dk starting zone for cataclysm. have it so that your character, during the cataclysm died, and the ebon hold ressurect you as an undead, and have you clean up some leftover scarlet crusaders in the plaguelands and possibly some undead till they let you go back to the horde or alliance.
THAT would be perfect.
Why? The DK starting zone is already phased and meant to occur 6 months before Wrath... why would they change it again?
