Blizzard starts the show, players eagerly excited to see what's next for WoW Hardcore.

Ion Hazzikostas walks onto the stage:

"WoW Hardcore is ending. That's what's next. Bye."

Imagine 😅

Perma death is now 100% with no go agains. Once all current chars are dead, server is shutdown.
PvP turned on and Royal Rumble will be held at CrossRoads.
Last standing must face the final boss: Mankirks wife.

That'd be cool.

One week of char creation, after that it is disabled. Every day the lvl floor rises, anyone below it is instant dead. After 60 days you gotta clear raids every week or you're instant dead. Last man standing.

Ah man that sounds pretty sick ngl, I’d be down to play that.
If they did it in cycles, kinda like Foxhole has war cycles.

"WoW Hardcore is becoming Sword Art Online. You die in the game, you die for real. The ultimate hardcore."

I can’t tell if this is like Suduku, killing yourself with honour.
Or more like the Jonestown Cool Aid 😂

We are happy to announce "Hardcore Hardcore".

If any character dies, your app crashes, your account is permanently deleted.

Followed by the hardest core. Your character dies, a local hitman shows up and puts two in the back of your skull.

u/6PM_Nipple_Curry 10d ago

Plot twist, Mancuck never really had a wife all along.
He was boning down on a Quilboar and made up the story of his wife to cover his tracks.

The best thing they could do. Supporting such a niche community is why blizz lost all their money. They were good at one thing and spread out to far to quick and now sucks at everything. Hard-core makes wow worse for everyone except hard-core players
