Dungeons And Dragons Online Hardcore League Permadeath Server Is Now Live
Hardcore Dungeons and Dragons Online players can now create their characters on the newly-opened permadeath server as Standing Stone Games kicks off season four of the Hardcore League. The league will run from now until June 9, giving players a chance to earn exclusive rewards by reaching certain milestones during their one life in the server.
“There is no exception made for the cause of death, whether it be in combat, falling, an Internet outage, playing the last section of The Shroud, or for any other reason. There is no way to interrupt this process by being raised from the dead and certain abilities that promise to save you from death will not function (such as Death Pact). When you die, you will lose your spot on the leaderboards for that character, but you will not lose access to any Milestones that you may have earned with that particular character. You will be able to chat, move around, emote, and manage your guild, but beware...there is no escape from death ...”
League rewards include the Overlord Collar, a Daelkyr Steed mount, the Death Walker's Cloak IV, and Thaarak Pup War Veteran Certificate. A Death Walker’s Sash IV will also be awarded to players who reach level 20. The rewards can be collected from the Hardcore League NPC upon reaching the set goals and will be available on the regular servers as well.
At the end of the Hardcore League, players will have the option to transfer their League characters from the Hardcore server to any of the existing servers regardless of whether they died or not. Characters from the regular servers, however, can’t be transferred to the Hardcore server.
More information can be found on the Dungeons and Dragons Online official site. DDO Community Manager Cordovan talks about the latest iteration of the Hardcore League in the DDOCast episode below.
