Although the game doesn't officially support it, some players are adopting this Soul of Iron system one step further, vowing to WoTLK Gold never again play their character when they die. Other rules for hardcore mode include the inability to access the auction house, not being able to group beyond raids or dungeons (and only in those instances with other players who are hardcore) and there are no self-resurrecting abilities.

Many of the hardcore players in Season of Mastery are using the Classic Hardcore add-on in order to help in their quest. The add-on is able to block messages from other players, or from auction houses as well as letting players know in the event that other players fail in their attempts. It also features anti-cheat technology to ensure that hardcore players are following the rules. It also uploads the runs to the leaderboard.

There are a lot of avid WoW WOTLK classic players are familiar with the game by the palm of their fingers playing as a hardcore character can help keep the game interesting and to add a little more challenge. Many of the hardcore players in Season of Mastery are looking to go the distance in their character by participating in a group event dubbed "Road towards Ragnaros." The objective is for players to reach to a maximum level of 60, upgrade their gear and try to take on Ragnaros as the final boss of the first raid, and not die a single time.

When you consider that how the top WoW WOTLK classic guilds have defeated Ragnaros in one week after WoW WOTLK classic's launch in 2019 The feat is definitely feasible, even though there's a good chance that there'll be some players who have to buy WoTLK Classic Gold lose their characters along the process. You can track the progress of the various participants the Road to Ragnaros over on Twitch.
