To learn more about how to start a Free Character Move, refer to this support article. No matter the reason, if you want to keep playing your recently departed character or make sure your currently living character doesn't face a sudden mishap, you can utilize the Free Character Move service and move any character to a non-Hardcore Classic Era realm. Or perhaps your character hasn't died at all, but you've decided that you're looking for a more relaxed experience. Maybe you just miscalculated how high that jump was. Maybe your character had an unlucky encounter with Lord Kazzak after you made a wrong turn at the Blasted Lands. Keep in mind that ghosts cannot complete quests, speak to the living or otherwise do most of anything other than haunt their local graveyards-quietly, and ponder what went wrong in their last moments of life in Azeroth. This will allow you to communicate with your in-game friends, as well as pass on guild leadership to a new (preferably alive dead heroes make for poor leaders) guild member. If you have unfinished business in the Hardcore realm, you may continue to exist in the game world as a ghost.

As one may expect, death in a Duel to the Death is permanent, just like any other death on Hardcore realms.

A new feature of Hardcore realms is a Duel to the Death.
