So Dessembrae (Giskler) is the first Death Knight to go public with his feat of hitting 80 first. Is it possible that someone else did it first? Absolutely, but there is no denying the greatness of his accomplishment. Until we see other wise, I’m gonna dub Dessembrae (Giskler) as our world first! (Makes sense to me that if someone else was gunning for the feat, and I’m sure there was plenty, we would have already heard from them.)
I took the time to get some words from Dessembrae (Giskler) on how this came to be:

This is a hard thing to call, as I’m sure many are close. When I sent out the call looking for the first level 80 Death Knight many have been emailing me with their progress. Until now. Gisker has not only hit level 80 with his Death Knight, he also posted a screenshot to prove it. As you can see in the SS below, his time showed 1900:26 November 15th on EU server Mazrigos.

I just posted looking for the world first 80, but thought it would be more fun to see where the rest of the community is. So, how well have you done these first couple of days?

Okay I lied about the last post thing. MMO-Champion just unveiled their new talent calculator redesign and I have to admit, it’s awesome! Not only does it look better, Boubouille also added the ability to show what Glyphs you’ll be using! Check it out over at MMOC. It’s still gonna suck for IE6 users and it has a few minor bugs, but it definitely rocks!

Also, for you EU folks that are already in Northrend (or installing), there is a Death Knight creation bug that might cause some confusion for you. …

The fruition of our 15 month wait it upon us. The site has had it’s ups and downs, but for the most part has continued to grow and develop into, what I feel, the number 1 spot for Death Knight Information. Our forums are closing in fast on 4,000 members. That is a staggering number considering this is a class fan site for a class that (technically) isn’t released yet. I’m proud of what WE have made this site into, I’m excited about where it is headed, and look forward …
