WoW Classic’s permadeath community may request Blizzard to create a new ruleset

During the thrill and the buzz around WoW classic has declined sharply over the last half year, there is a segment that is actually on the rise thanks to a community initiative that caught the developer’s attention.

Many players have come up with the idea of ​​engaging in a self-applied permadeath mode – or “classic hardcore” as it’s called. The idea is that you install an app that tracks your progress, gives you alternate performance goals to pursue in a hardcore run, announces deaths to the entire hardcore community, and immortalizes those who actually made it without a single level death make 60

As the permadeath community has grown in size and prominence – particularly in the Classic Era (ie vanilla) space – it looks like Blizzard is considering adopting the idea for an official ruleset. Dataminers have found evidence of “hardcore warnings” in the public testing area, which some have taken as proof that permadeath servers are on the way.

It would be a smart move for the studio to capitalize on the growing enthusiasm for this type of game mode and follow in the footsteps of other titles such as Dungeons and Dragons Onlinethat regularly runs a hardcore server challenge.
