If you disconnect during play and die you can appeal the death by sending a clip to a mod for approval. If you are unavoidably PVP griefed during play and die you can appeal the death. An unavoidable death includes being forcibly MCed into flagging for PVP and then being ganked. Anything avoidable, such as Teremus in SW, or attacking an NPC, will not be available for appeal. If you flag for PVP, including through a quest, and die to PVP this is classed as an avoidable death. Dungeon groups can only be run with other HC members who are following the HC rule set (regardless of recording or not). Choose your companions wisely and ask if they are compliant to avoid your run being invalidated. Any deliberate unavoidable griefing such as attempting to end a groups HC run by multilifing is open to mod appeal.

At 60 in Classic ERA, you can submit your run for verification on https://classichc.net/get-verified/ At 80 in Classic Wrath of the Lich King, you can submit your run for verification on https://classichc.net/get-verified/ Verified runs no longer require a recording or stream of your journey, however it is still strongly recommended that you record as it is your only way of appealing a disconnect or griefing death. They do not require a Blizzard confirmation of no deaths. The Hardcore addon (version 0.7.0 or higher) is required for verification, and you must have it from character creation onward. Runs that began without the addon still require recording of the full run. Most achievements also require recording for verification, please check with a mod in the discord. Once your run is verified you will be placed in the Hall of Legends and gain the Immortal role in the discord!

We welcome and encourage everyone to participate in the Hardcore Community and understand that not everyone wants to Record/Stream, or has interest in being in the Hall of Legends. We simply ask that you play by the rules and be honest while participating in the community. Unverified runs are also part of the Disconnect and Griefer Death Protection rule. We understand that these issues can still occur for players that are unable to provide video evidence. Seeing as an Unverified Run will not be eligible for the Hall of Legends, we ask that you be honest with yourself and delete your character if your death does not qualify under these protections. If you are 100% certain that a mod would forgive the death if you did have a recording to submit, you are free to carry on with that character as normal.
