Blizzard has shared Patch Notes for WoW Classic Version 1.14.4, which will introduce an updated PvP Honor System for all WoW Classic Realms, as well as a new Hardcore mode which will go live on Thursday August 24th, 2023 at 3:00 PM PDT.
The character is not necessarily lost, however. After dying on a Hardcore realm, players will be able to choose to utilize the Free Character Move service and move their dead character to a non-Hardcore Classic Era realm. Once the move is complete to the non-hardcore realm, that character may resurrect as normal.On Hardcore realms, players are not automatically flagged for PvP upon attacking another player.
To flag yourself for PvP, you must type the command /pvp. You won’t be able to take hostile actions against a flagged enemy player unless you flag yourself deliberately. PvP battlegrounds are completely disabled, as are all PvP Battlemasters.
You may enter premade Wargames, but you may not gain honor or PvP reputations from Wargames. Various quests and objectives that cause players to become PvP flagged, such as the quest “The Attack” and “The Missing Diplomat”, do not cause players to become flagged for PvP.All dungeons have at least a 24-hour lockout timer for players below level 60. Furthermore, level 60 players may never enter lower-level dungeons.
