Many players have been waiting something truly new for our project and have frequently asked when we plan to launch a realm featuring the very same, without exaggeration, legendary mechanic that people are still talking about to this day.
We are now proud to present the new WoW Circle 3.3.5 x4 Hardcore realm, its main feature will be the optional «No right to fail», mode, by activating which, you enter a game with a single life, where each decision carries weight, each battle demands concentration, and any mistake can be your last one.
You might ask what is so hardcore about «No right to fail» mode with x4 rates? Yes, we agre - it would be far too easy, that is why all participants who join this challenge will be automatically set to x1 rates and will face even more restrictions, that can be overcome only by true hardcore gameplay fans!
What is waiting you globally, and why should you choose us?
A classic server free of non-blizzlike stuff - meaning no custom items with stats and no modifications that globally impact players power. We still prefer preserving the balance and atmosphere of the authentic 2009 Wrath of the Lich King, for everyone to experience Azeroth as it was. However, time moves forward and for players comfort we implement some features from newer expansions.
Moreover our server has no Pay2Win mechanics, only a fair equal experience for everyone.
We will be glad if you join us to try and experience something truly new for our project, together on WoW Circle 3.3.5 x4 Hardcore - 06.12.25 at 06:00 PM (GMT+3)
