If I recall correctly, Hardcore started on a single server and was initially dismissed by most players as a gimmick that would never catch on. I thought it would never catch on, but surprisingly, it gained traction and was officially implemented by Blizzard.

What were your initial thoughts on Hardcore when you first heard about it?

I’m still puzzled that it became as popular as it did as its peak. I believe a fair number still play it, even.

How do you go from a dozen players to official recognition by Blizzard?
