Blizzard Reverses Hardcore WoW Classic Death Policy After DDoS Attacks
2025-03-25
Streamer Sodapoppin's World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore raid was wiped out by a DDoS attack. Blizzard responded by resurrecting characters killed during the attack, a departure from the game's usual permadeath policy. Blizzard stated that the DDoS attack was a malicious third-party action, warranting a different response than typical in-game deaths. While the overall Hardcore mode rules remain unchanged, deaths specifically caused by external attacks like this will be handled differently.
