I am only playing HC servers, and the challenge in this mode is the sole reason I like MMO’s nowadays. I just recently lost a 60 character which was heartbreaking, but I got over it. I then started a new character and just now I died because my internet failed me while I was in a dangerous zone.
I agreed to the terms of service when creating a character, but today I join all those people who refuse to p(l)ay unless Blizzard makes changes regarding disconnects and server failures. Unless you have had this happen to yourself, don’t bother replying since your experience doesn’t compare. If you think disconnects are part of the game, I think you are delusional.

Today I was about to unsub, pulled mob and DC kicked in, I was sure Im dead, but some rogue saved me grinding mobs next to me.
Why for some was DC, (half of the guild had DC) others not, I dunno.
Why private servers can run game more smoothly and police game more?
I will play till DC or some bug kills me and then insta sub cancel.
What can I say, Im very disappointed about this company services.

The reason is Blizzard not believing HC to be worthy of putting extra recources to. They could open 3rd realm, they could manage free transfer waves. They could do transfers to lvl 30+ to a separate realms to reduce overall lags. That would make HC even more popular than today, but they are afraid you would rage quit HC and while taking a huge break from Retail could hot return to it at all.

I like the HC mode but a DC is always possible and simply not preventable. It really sooks if it happens but you cant blame WoW even when you pay for it. This’ll be an issue for any game that has things like HC mode.
WoW is not made for playing HC mode even when we got it now.
I feel you mate, there is nothing worse than losing a characters beyond your own control. Its just something we have to suck up tho
Agree.
Yes, it sucks. I blame Blizzard for not having an appeal system in place/allocating more resources for this issue. Remember: server instability caused thousands of players to lose their characters too.
Does anyone who plays consider this? I can see with my own eyes that almost no one does not. So it’s a moot point.
Just like all others who have experienced this before I did, I now AND suck it up, AND decide to not p(l)ay until Blizzard does something. It may be in vain, but principles matter.

So nothing to do with Blizzard at all, so don’t blame Blizzard.
Get a better and more stable internet connection.
Why? The two realms for europe are enough as it is. Plenty of people while no queue at all. Seems good to me?
I mean temporary realm to unload pressure from existing ones. Maybe special lvl 30+ realm, where you can’t create lvl 1 characters 
imagine you need lvl 30 to have a bank alt.
I don’t see how solutions to disconnects aren’t within the realm of possibilities.
Don’t try to trigger me. Everyone can get disconnects how ‘stable’ their connection is. I told you I got to 60 without any issues.
To anyone who thinks they might garner sympathy, empathy or any kind of action at any time by posting stuff like this, forget it.
Just note the complete lack of any blue response throughout this forum and you will get the idea.
That would be insane lol. But then again there are people to level several toons to 35 just to have every profession themselves löls.
To anyone who thinks describing the current state of fora in general, don’t bother replying with irrelevant comments.
You say YOUR internet failed you. That’s nothing to do with Blizzard.
I just looked at my router, no disconnects for over two months.
Forums, I thought people actually knew this as we don’t speak Latin.
As long as people like you don’t make irrelevant threads.
Oh no I’m going to die pulls ethernet cable is exactly why they won’t do this.

I love hardcore, but am also afraid of dying to disconnect. I don’t use flight path ever, because of the risk. I travel on foot instead. Run run run
But what I do is, I play several alts, and level them too. So if one day I lose a character to disconnect, that will hurt. But i will have some other characters that I can play. That is my solution. Some kind of safety

But sooo laggy! I would start over on 3rd or even 4th server and forget progress on old one NOW!
i mean if were asking for things, sort out the disconnects why not just add in the new character models to make it look abit better?
wait… if we did that it wouldn’t be apart of the classic experience. it’s 20 year code, probably older.
you have to take into account Blizzard only started these realms to stop the private servers, compared to most HC mode has a small community (retail/Classic Wrath [probably have bigger numbers]) , lets face facts, once you hit 60, what are you going to do? a few dungeons get some gear and probably stop. The challenge to this HC Mode is literally surviving as long as you can. This isn’t a long game and by that i dont mean about time, there isnt much to do once you hit 60 and do the dungeons, it’s just a challenge game. i doubt they’ll make BC HC Mode but you never know.
i suffer from DC’s and i have FTTR (Fibre to the Router) 1gb speed, last night the BNET app just went down randomly whilst i have fighting zebra’s in the barrens for the hoofs.
luckily i survived but kinda keeps me on the edge of my seat, never know what’s going to happen!

Then in non - HC servers at max level nothing to do?
Quite sad to play like this. I lost my character to this bug and I quit but if I return I’m afraid I would have to play as you do…
