So both me and my friend are trying to make new DKs (both orcs), but when we create a character and log in there are no NPC’s around at all. The Lich King is gone and nothing is around. Is this a new issue or has anyone else experienced this?
Edit: This is happening on both Lightninghoof and Wyrmrest Accord
I just tested on a blood elf to see if I was having the same issue. I can’t replicate. When I finished initial cutscene Lich King as there to start quest. I’m sorry 
found this post as i was looking to see if anyone else was having this same problem, because yeah, it happened to me too! (character is on wyrmrest accord, and is a forsaken.)
I just created a worgen DK and I’m having the same problem. Siouxsie the Banshee is the only NPC with any dialogue and all the says is she no longer trains DKs. There are no portals or gryphons, either. So you’re stuck way up in Archerus with no way down (can’t climb over the railing) and you can’t queue for anything until level 10.
I have the same problem. I created a DK, but there are no quests, and I can’t leave the starting zone.
appears to be fixed now! i can see the lich king and quests are available.
