Looking for a truly heroic and hardcore gaming experience? Look no further than the Lordaeron realm.
People are playing Classic Hardcore because Ulduar is too much annoying and hard for them and they have nothing else to do.
I've had countless hours of fun and excitement in both PvE and PvP content. The scripting quality and stability of the server are commendable, allowing for smooth gameplay and immersive encounters. The progression system feels rewarding, and the community-driven events add an extra layer of excitement to the game.
Except for blizzard, who is releasing a hardcore server soon, for the demand it apparently has.

People said there was demand for fresh Classic as well and SOM had less players than Warmane. Hardcore servers will be the same, after few months almost no one will be playing there. Blizzard is just milking every last drop of Classic since it cost them almost nothing but it make some revenue from subs.
Some operations are made with loss, while attracting more people to their other potential services.
Offer some salty peanuts and then sell them overpriced drinks after.
