History
Master Class (D1.0) opened the Deathknight Live era on NA on 19 October 2021. After Epic Tale of Aden’s long episode run, Master Class reframed late Live around class mastery and the Deathknight identity wave. Players who still called Live home remember creation screens, mastery systems, and the odd feeling of a “new beginning” on a continuum most Western friends had already left for Classic or project servers.
Why it mattered
