So i play a rogue whose name is Stabfeind in hardcore realm Defias Pillager. I have been playing hardcore for awhile now and have lost quite a few characters which is totally understandable in hardcore. Theres just 1 death i cant seem to grasp and isnt something that i would call hardcore. I started an event called cuergo’s gold in tanaris. I clicked on the tree and the chest popped up and of course so did the mobs trying to kill me. I seen them running towards me and all of a sudden game just turns off. I dont mean like logs me out but just turns off and all im seeing is the blizzard app. I click play and it starts logging me in and bam i see my ghost character. Its guy wrenching. I had just lost another character earlier that day to game mechanics which i was totally cool with. I mean dying in battle to a boss in a dungeon is a worthy way to die, but to die to a disconnect knowing you have no control over your death is not hardcore at all. I believe my character should be revived and i should be able to continue my journey and die in a way that would be within my control. I just wanted to post this and i hope it makes it to the devs. Either something is wrong with the quest in tanaris or something glitched when my character was rudely taken away from me but i hope it gets fixed and i hope i can see my character back.
WoW is not designed to be a hardcore game unfortunately, i feel bad for anyone who tries it. They are bound to die to something like this at some point, but its all a waste of time anyway so i guess it doesn’t matter.

I feel good for us that don’t and simply watch some of the compilations of these kinds of incidents happening.
We are the true beneficiaries of the existence of HC Classic.
There is no flavor of shadenfreude that is better than watching a level 60 in BiS going down to a lag spike.
sorry about the character. there’s nothing to fix here, it’s part of the game mode. go again and good luck!
