What I don't want to see happening is 2 races becoming predominant in class creation because they are the best. IE Tauren/Nightelf tanks.
P.S.: It will be VERY funny when I see.

Also: The voice replies have to be changed. a "Hi how you doin" or "The pleasure is mine" should be changed to "If you touch me I break your legs and leave you lying in a 4-way intersection."

Ok, to end all of the anger and hatefulness i will fill you all in with LORE as some of you have said only humans and undead should be DK's....The Horde first originally made the Death Knight to help in battle when they were fighting humans, Gul'dan took Gorefiend's Soul and put it into a human knights body and Gorefiend became the first death knight. IMO Orcs are the only LORE-SMART race to be made into death knights, but then again that would be to op and *!@# off alliance (and gnomes) so instead of being racist they let everyone be in it. World of Warcraft has lore in it just dont expect to find it in classes. For example, in Warcraft 3 a Tauren Spirit guide (its literally a unit) can cast Spirit Link, Blizz was originally gonna put it in for WotLK for shamans but instead they thought it would be better to put in 1 HoT for shamans......because we need more heals (makes perfect sense huh?) so anyway instead of sticking to lore they wanna make them heal better which would be easier if they got spirit link -.- Anyway, lore-wise Horde should have access to Death Knights while Alliance should have gotten Paladins in WotLK and just release both classes at the same time to make the alliance and horde feel good about themselves. So um yeah Horde were first to make death knights why should alliance get it since they never even had a death knight on their side through out warcraft history? Arthas isnt an example because he turned into a death knight and brought about the scourge unto loarderon his home city and murdered his father. If anything why would alliance like to have a death knight? the one death knight they even got close to was arthas and he went psychopathic on them. If i were a human (in the game) and i heard about death knights coming onto our side i would be scared like hell and try to kill the death knight just because of what happened in the past. So i implore you all to just go along with the idea of blizzard and just keep playing and seeing where it goes and if you dont like the idea go play another game or go outside. You shouldnt be playing enough to have death knights really effect how you like the game.

I think the main thing that should be asked is this:
"Is the Lich King powerful enough to corrupt these races?"
I would say yes, because I believe he's pretty powerful and can corrupt most ordinary heroes (nevermind the extraordinary flukes).
I don't think it has much to do with race. If most races share the ability to be a warrior or paladin, then they're probably good enough minions.
Every race can swing around a weapon and wear plate as one class or another, so that solves that problem.
As far as Arthas' preference for races, I'm pretty sure he hates all non-scourge equally, so it doesn't really matter which hero becomes a death night.

The huge problem with this thread as a whole is people still don't understand what a Death Knight really is. They came up with their own idea and just replied, without reading the whole thing.
The fact of the matter is, as stated a number of times in the thread already, a Death Knight is not someone who wanted more power or allowed themselves to be corrupted.
A Death Knight is a former hero of the Alliance/Horde who fell in battle and was ressurrected in the service of the Lich King. A corpse is a corpse, and whether it's a Gnome or a Night Elf or a murloc for all I care, he or she can be a Death Knight
It has nothing to do with size/morals/purity/will/timing/participation in the war/etc.
If you're that concerned with the validity of any race being a Death Knight, imagine this. You get to level 55, quest in the Plaguelands and die. Congratulations, you've qualified for being a Death Knight. End of story. In fact, the level 55 part is the only requirement for making a Death Knight for a reason.
All these silly excuses as to why X or Y race shouldn't be a Death Knight has no relevance.
End of topic.

I agree, but even then it is kinda hard to imagine a BE deathknight, seeing as they kinda cheated their way into becoming paladins
