*Hail *NOR/!
Hardcore Season VI draws to a close next Monday, October 24th. In reflection, this season was a bit of a mixed bag for a large portion of the Hardcore community, and a lot of folks found the season to be challenging in the sense that the methods that the developers used to make it “hardcore” effectively removed a lot of the players’ ability to interact with the game; players were unable to theory craft effective builds to defeat the various hounds due to them being red-named and champions; and ultimately, players felt like the season was released half-baked with the community having to raise such a ruckus that the devs had to make significant adjustments to curb a Hardcore server mutiny. I hope that Standing Stone Games (the current team behind DDO) can take this season as a learning experience and level up their wisdom stat in a way that it allows the community to feel like the Hardcore developers went *above and beyond* rather than players being left with a sense that the devs did *just enough to get by.* Here’s to an engaging and enjoyable future Hardcore Season VII!
Additionally, the Night Revels event is going strong and will be available on the Ghallanda server until November 1st. You can slay undead enemies in the Night Revels explorer area within Delera’s Graveyard, run numerous spooky quests to get special ingredients, and use the ingredients to purchase unique cosmetic items and a special Night Revels mount!

See you in-game!
