On the night of June 21 to 22, 2024, a tragic event occurred on a World of Warcraft server, which plunged many players into deep sadness. A massive server lag caused the deaths of hundreds of characters in Hardcore mode, where players only have one life and no mercy is shown. This error caused thousands of hours of gameplay and character progress to go to waste in an instant.
World of Warcraft Harcdore mode is aimed at players who are looking for a special challenge and want to more fully experience the consequences of their actions in the game. The constant death of the character creates tension and drama, but also fear and fear of loss. The thought of losing all your progress may seem daunting, but for many players, that appeal is what makes the mode so appealing.

A nightmare that came true with this problem, which caused a wave of consternation and discontent on the official WoW forum, as everything these users had earned with so much effort was lost when the game suddenly stopped responding, while the chat was still working. The pain and disappointment were palpable in the forum, where, for example, one player said “Thousands of hours of gaming down the barrel.” Another player reported losing 20 guild members, while one player regretted the 50 days and money he had invested.
According to mmorpg.org.pl, the community later held a spontaneous “tribute” to the fallen in the game’s main cities.
Calls for a rollback, in which the server is restored to a previous state, became increasingly louder. Players argued that the no-fault loss in extreme mode was particularly bitter and warranted an exception. “No player is to blame for this. Blizzard should make an exception and rollback,” demanded one of the affected players.
For now, Blizzard has not yet commented on the incident. It remains to be seen whether the developer will respond to players’ demands for a rollback.
World of Warcraft: The War Within will have exclusive missions for “evil” characters and reveals the full map of Khaz Algar
After much anticipation, Blizzard has already revealed several aspects of its new World of Warcraft expansion, The War Within. These include the introduction of a new approach to the game’s narrative, with the inclusion of missions that are only available to certain types of characters and the reveal of the new map.
The new missions in question can only be seen and completed by characters who play with alignments considered “bad” within the game, such as void elves, undead, demon hunters, death knights, warlocks and shadow priests. Derill Fayn, a key character in the expansion’s plot, gives one of these quests called “Test Courage” in the area known as Hallowfall, which challenges players to prove their loyalty to the light side by facing manifestations of the light. darkness.
