First level 70 Death Knight on the realms

Odds are, I'd say, that we'll see our first level 80 sometime this afternoon (and probably in Europe, since they got a little bit of a time zone head start) -- we've had reports come in from one very obnoxious Paladin, but his claims to level 80 aren't actually true. But in the meantime, here's the first level 70 Death Knight we've heard of: Arello of Raptors Open Doors on Shattered Hand dinged 70 as a Death Knight in Northrend's New Agamand. The Armory doesn't have his character in yet, but this seems credible to us.
We're not sure he's the absolute first, though, just the first we've heard of -- anyone else have proof of a Death Knight at 70 already? And we'll keep an eye out for (credible) claims of level 80 firsts -- the run from level 60 to 70 took about 28 hours the first time around, so unless Blizzard did things a lot different, we'll probably see it sometime today.

Work is killing me. Being a Medical Assistant in an office where no patients want to come in and a brand new Expansion burning holes in my computer.
Must. . . Get. . .Home. . .

You guys should do a story on how Blizzard bungled and sent out a crapton of disks that won't work for people!

I had the expansion downloaded and installed on my computer in under an hour... I didn't even put my DVD in the computer. So all isn't lost if the DVD's were flawed.

It's not just the discs, this is a quote from the linked thread on the Blizz forums:
"I downloaded from the accounts page and am getting the "The fil 'Localization.xml'" could not be loaded" error. So I doubt it has anything to do with what kind of dvd drive you have. I tried to read through all the posts, but didn't see a fix for this yet. Is there one? ".
I have yet to receive my 2 copies today (one for myself, the other for my brother). At least I have another disc to try if my CE doesn't work.

Wow, now that's some powerleveling. I think my eyes would bleed playing for that long straight. Too each there own.
Hefren Nov 13th 2008 1:55PM
Sorry, their own.

Also, "to each."
Hefren Nov 13th 2008 2:29PM
Ya, saw that one too after the first post. They need an edit tool.

I ordered the key off eBay, and still no sign of it. Come on!
Beatphreek Nov 13th 2008 2:00PM
Bought the key on EBAY...
LOL's may be in order....
Ed (Sindarin, Hydraxis US) Nov 13th 2008 2:07PM
And what other choice do you suppose I had, being from the UK and being on the US realms? I notice a lot of people who have ordered WotLK still have not received it through Fedex, either.
Ed (Sindarin, Hydraxis US) Nov 13th 2008 2:29PM
And the key just arrived! Death Knight here I come!
Otce Nov 13th 2008 1:55PM
I too am waiting on FedEx. I assume anyone that actually has Wotlk wouldn't be here. How can the FedEx person not see my package and make it his number one priority? Screw those other packages.
