Hardcore
Hardcore mode is a mode where your character has only one life. After death, you remain a ghost forever. This game mode is designed for the most passionate players. If you can't handle the pressure, you'd better not try it.
How to create a Hardcore character?
A Hardcore character must be a newly created one. It cannot have any rebirths. In the Star Room, during race selection, you will find a dark statue. This statue will grant you the option to play in Hardcore mode.
