Hardcore WotLK addon for Warmane is now in Open Beta – die once, it's over
A Hardcore challenge addon for WotLK 3.3.5a and it's now ready for open beta testing. If you've ever wanted to experience true Hardcore on Warmane — one life, permanent death, no cheating — this is it.
What is it?
HardcoreWotLK is a free addon that turns Warmane into a proper Hardcore experience. It tracks your run automatically, enforces the rules, communicates with other HC players in the world, and handles everything passively — you just install it and play.
Two modes:
Standard HC — Death by any game mechanic is permanent. PvP deaths are protected by the Blood Pact system. Trading, Mail, and AH are allowed. Group only with other HC characters.
Self-Found — Same as Standard HC but the Auction House, Mail, and Trading are fully disabled and enforced by the addon. Everything you have, you found yourself.
What the addon does:
Tracks your run from level 1 to 80 — every level, every death, every zone logged
Broadcasts deaths to the world via party, guild,
Automatically leaves your group if a non-HC player joins
Detects if you died while the addon was off and ends your run
Blood Pact protects you from PvP deaths — a 60-second grace window after being hit by a player
Works on Onyxia, Lordaeron, and Icecrown
Death Knights:
DKs can enroll at level 55. A non-DK character on your account must have died at level 55 or higher first — that's the sacrifice that unlocks the DK path.
This is an open beta running until June 1st.
Everything is working but I want real players testing it before the v1.0 release. If you find a bug, something feels wrong, or you have a suggestion — I want to hear it.
