WoW Classic Hardcore Self-Found Release Date

Mark your calendars! The mode launches globally on February 29th at 3 PM PDT. No matter your faction or server, prepare to dive in simultaneously.

How Does It Works

  • Go Solo or Group Up: You can choose to embark on this adventure alone or team up with other players who have also opted for the Self-Found mode.
  • Restricted Interactions: Say goodbye to trading, buying/selling on the Auction House, and sending/receiving mail from other players. You’ll have to rely on drops, quests, and crafting to gear up.
  • Unique Buff: As a Self-Found player, you’ll receive a special buff that provides unknown benefits. Blizzard is keeping this under wraps for now, adding an element of surprise.
  • Turning it Off: If the challenge becomes too daunting, you can disable Self-Found mode by visiting designated NPCs in Ironforge/Darnassus (Alliance) or Orgrimmar/Undercity (Horde). However, remember, this is a one-way trip; you can’t reactivate it once turned off.
