This to a T.
I play every day on Defias Alliance and the numbers are astronomical. I can’t go through most zones without running in to 10-12-15 players in an hour period. Currently doing a /who westfall has 39 players between level 10-16. Its Friday @ 8:00 AM.
In the last 4 weeks I’ve had 1 item not sell in an 8 hour block.
If you want sustainability play retail
We busy playing SOD bro. Who likes wasting thier time on characters that can be deleted?
Use 24hr blocks 
8hr ones are always inconsistent.
The HC crowd moved on to SF HC SoD now.
that’s dumb. SoD is too easy
SOD is easy mod wow, it would be hard to actually die in it for most classes.
No hablo engles por favor?
This is a novelty mode. Why would you expect full servers. How many alts are people supposed to keep making over and over exactly?
This is sarcasm … right?
Nah back to playing POE and league. SOD was trash. HC got me back for a bit, but predictably blizz blew it again.
Lol what?? This is a thing now?
Allow (paid) transfers from HC to SoD for characters under level 25.
World buffs tonight were kinda like the wildebeest scene from the lion king
it was a stampede I tell ya
I just downloaded PoE again. Going to start on the fresh League there myself. SoD is a Money Grab. HC is Low Pop, Med at best. Retail…uuuugh.
Dc issues is the #1 reason I want nothing to do with this server.
I’m guessing you’ve never played HC in any other online game in the last 20 some years then either, so it’s obviously not for you. Fare well and good hunting.
I have been having a blast playing both HC and SOD. I am very grateful to have both. I don’t always want to have to be hyper focused like I do when playing HC. It doesn’t matter to me if there is a lot of people or not since I play solo 90% or the time.
The SOD hardcore rules are SF and you can’t use quest rewards. By basically everyone’s opinion that is doing it, it’s vastly more difficult than normal HC. Those that made it to 60 without dying often die by level 12.
Also you can only group up for dungeons and you are only allowed to do them once before doing the raid.
Huh?
