World of Warcraft Classic's official Hardcore permadeath servers have been live for around a week now, and the community seems to be having a blast laughing at its own misfortune.
Players have been sharing some of their most unfortunate, or just plain funny, deaths on places like the WoW and WoW Classic subreddits.

One death in particular attracted quite a crowd and was even highlighted by the official WoW Twitter account--a duel to the death over a rare-quality item, the Belt of Arugal, which drops from the Shadowfang Keep dungeon. A Mage wanting the belt lost a roll for it to a Hunter, after which the Mage declared a Mak'gora using WoW Classic Hardcore's new duel to the death feature. Word quickly spread around the server, and a ring of dozens of onlookers showed up to witness the duel that has quickly become part of WoW history. The mage lost not only the belt in question but also their life.
How have you seen Mak'gora used?
