Why do Death Knights start at level 55?

Death Knights (DKs) start at level 55 in World of Warcraft because they are "hero" characters, former champions raised by the Lich King, not novices; this high starting level signifies their experienced, undead status and allows them to bypass early leveling to jump into the Wrath of the Lich King storyline in Outland, making them powerful alts immediately. Originally, players needed another character at level 55 on their account to unlock them, emphasizing their elite nature, though this requirement has changed over time, with restrictions sometimes lifted for new expansion launches or Classic servers.
