Hardcore game concept is that you have only one life, if you die you are dead permanently.. “permadeath”.
Heres a list of changes to expect from the original Wrath of the Lich King.
- Hardcore Mode – You only have one life, however the only exception is in battlegrounds.
- Resurrection Spells – Classes that have resurrection spells will still have them however you have a time limit to use it on another player. You have 6 minutes to successfully resurrect, as the spells have a chance of failure on each cast. Be sure to have plenty of mana pots. The spells get more affective as you achieve higher ranked version res spells.
- Resurrection Sickness – Res sickness has been changed such that if a player is resurrected 4-6 mins from the time of death he/she will have resurrection sickness for a long period of time, the higher the level character the longer the resurrection sickness.
- Spirit Healers – Disabled
- Death Knights – Disabled
Features coming soon:
- Bad Oman buff – If you kill a player more than 10 levels lower that you, you’re marked with a Bad Omen for a period of time. Let’s just say once you obtain this buff nobody would want you in their party until it expires.
- Will NPC – Create a Will and name an heir of your characters wealth upon death.
