As the saying goes, victory or death – that is your path in World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore realms. Blizzard describes the experience as an exciting way to challenge yourself and your class knowledge. Can you make it to level 60 without dying? And if so, how much further can you go?
But if the worst came to pass and your character met an untimely demise, what then? The developer shared a new blog post to answer the question. For those who have fallen along the way, there’s a choice to be made on how to handle their newfound permanent death status. Here are your options:
- Linger on as a Ghost. This will allow you to communicate with your in-game friends, as well as pass on guild leadership to a new (preferably alive; dead heroes make for poor leaders) guild member. Note that you cannot complete quests, speak to the living or really do much in this state.
- Enter a New Era. You can utilize the Free Character Move service and move any character to a non-Hardcore Classic Era realm. To learn more about how to start a Free Character Move, refer to this support article. Once the move is complete, the way back to a Hardcore realm will be closed to them permanently.
- Start a new character. Not every hero will reach the finish line on their first attempt—or maybe even their second. But, in a few tries, you should be able to get to the triumphant end of this journey!
