I have played multiple different iterations of Wow throughout the years, but none have been as captivating and engaging as hardcore. The thrill of knowing every mistake can be your last, and how every upgrade and piece of gold matters really enhances the experience.
However, what completely breaks this amazing experience is knowing that, at any point, I might die do to service dispurtion. This does not add any fun or value to the game.
If being “unlucky” and dying because the server went down is part of the game, then this game is not for me. I will not go again and this marks the end of our 20 (on and off) year long relationship.
