The Hardcore League is now open!

[Cordovan]

Click here to learn more about this special event server which runs through November 15th!

Current Known Issues:

• We have temporarily disabled Mortality, the Hardcore League vendor NPC, on the non-Hardcore game worlds. Mortality will return to the non-Hardcore game worlds soon.
• Character deaths are being broadcast at level 2 and above instead of the intended level 10 and above.
• The vendor Mortality on the Hardcore server ONLY requires the character who has earned the appropriate amount of favor to speak to it in order to receive the award. The non-Hardcore servers are functioning correctly, however.
• The map is displaying incorrectly in the Land of Lost Souls.

Yes it is.
Recruiting for more.

Working towards level 4.

Not spamming guild invites because that is rude.

[Silverleafeon]

+1

The first party death (two at once) has occurred.

[Silverleafeon]

I see a level 4 already.

From the FAQ:

"...[A]nd any character who reaches at least Level 5 and survives on the server will be recognized in The DDO Chronicle newsletter."

"All characters who reach at least level 5 and survives will be featured in a special edition of the DDO Chronicle player newsletter at the end of the Hardcore League."

But then later on:

" 'I made it to level 5 on the Hardcore League server but then I died. Why isn't my name featured in the DDO Chronicle?' Remember, the Chronicle spotlight is for living characters. If you die, you fall off the list."

I would recommend clarifying the two original statements with something like "and survives until the end of the event" to make it very clear that just reaching level 5 is not enough - you have to live until the event ends. Because, frankly, the way it is currently worded it is easy to misinterpret the intent.

Just a suggestion.


PS: Good luck to all who participate in this event.

Let's face it, those with the spare cash to buy tomes and healing elixirs are going to rule with this gimmick. There has always been a certain level of pay 2 win, but it's never been worth it because there's never been any incentive.

Now we have leader boards and the chance of immortality among your peers. Except it's not your peers, it's an exclusive elite. A sad day for the average Joe and the game as a whole.

It is a silly name:

"Open Guild for All"

Recruiter has a lfm up right now.

A sad day for the average Joe ...

The average Joe is quite welcome inside our Guild:
"Open Guild for All"

which is only place that I am spending cash on this server.

Forward to that

I was trying to make the point of there not being an equal and open playing field. Your comment backs it up nicely.

[Fauxknight]

Yay, a server I can't play on.


Sounds cool. I'll just watch, no wait I hate watching people play games. I guess I'll just play on my normal server per the usual and rack up a few more TRs.

Can't turn in the quest Cannith Crystal in Korthos.

Guild members tell me to swap instances (there is a korthos 2 and 3), they replied such fixed thus.
