Blizzard Announces Date for World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore Servers"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

If you frequent the OG realms of Azeroth, you’ve no doubt seen the buzz surrounding the venerable “HC” (amidst the LFG and innuendo posts that otherwise flood the general chat channel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was first revealed in June, the notion of a hardcore version of World of Warcraft Classic<\/a> has got everyone prepping themselves for the devastation of permadeath, plying their trades in the PTR (public test realm) servers while they wait for the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At last, we now know exactly how much longer we’ll be waiting, as Blizzard has announced that the hardcore servers will go live (and dead) on August 24th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death is permanent, and once you\u2019ve been bested by the environment (or even other players), you\u2019ll need to create a new character to try, try again.<\/p>\nBlizzard Entertainment<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The feature will be implemented in the 1.14.4 content update, with the incumbent Honor system also being retired as part of the patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
