WoW Classic

Blizzard has released the official Hardcore ruleset detailing what players can expect from the Hardcore experience in World of Warcraft Classic when it goes live on August 24 at 3PM PDT.

When Blizzard first announced the development of a Hardcore realm for World of Warcraft Classic, they teased two hallmark features that would be included in their Hardcore mode: permanent character death and the Duels to the Death system.

We've covered the significant changes made to Classic Hardcore including the permadeath, dungeons, the new Duel to the Death system, and the other various things you need to know about Hardcore realms before jumping in this Thursday, August 24 at 3 p.m.

I've fallen back into World of Warcraft Classic thanks to the announcement of Hardcore realms coming on August 24, but instead of rolling a character on the PTR to give Hardcore a try, I decided to roll another Night Elf Druid and start from scratch.

In May, Blizzard announced a World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore realm was in development for a summer release, and last week we got a look at the official ruleset and structure of just how Hardcore realms will function.

Hardcore mode owes a lot to early video game design with games like Rogue or even arcade games like Space Invaders, where the goal was to get as far through the game as you possibly could without dying.

Wrath Classic has now incorporated the WoW Token.

Wrath Classic Phase 3 is arriving June 20!

Recent datamining that indicates Dragonflight patch 10.1 might well have some form of hardcore mode on select servers.

Wrath Classic is finally making some major moves to get rid of bots in the game.
