War Room Hardcore
A Shinigami company for official Classic Era Hardcore realms. One life. No excuses. No shame in a careful pull.
World of Warcraft is a trademark of Blizzard Entertainment. War Room is unofficial. Fan community; not affiliated with or endorsed by Blizzard Entertainment.
The Charter
- One life. Death on a Hardcore realm is permanent: no corpse run, no resurrection spells, no Soulstone or Reincarnation. A fallen character may take Blizzard's free move to a normal Classic Era realm, but never returns to Hardcore. We honor the fallen; we do not argue with the rules.
- Trading follows the realm. Standard Hardcore characters may trade, mail and use the Auction House under Blizzard's rules. If you chose Self-Found mode, you cannot trade, use the AH or send most mail; do not ask Self-Found members for items. Guild bank gifts go only to characters allowed to receive them.
- Call your pulls. In any group, say what you are pulling before you pull it. Tanks mark, everyone waits for the mark.
- Dungeon etiquette. Agree on loot rules before the first pull. Nobody runs ahead. Healers announce low mana. If someone says "run," the group runs toward the entrance together.
- Buddy-leveling. New members are paired with a leveling buddy for their first 20 levels. Ask in guild chat before going into a new zone alone.
- No griefing. Never train mobs onto other players, never bait PvP flags, and never invite anyone to a Duel to the Death as a joke.
- Real life first. AFK in a safe spot (inn or city), never in the open world.
