Although the concept of achievements is gay and normally engenders pathetic degeneracy, they actually suit this otherwise meaningless task well. It's not very "hardcore" to tiptoe your way along the path of least resistance to 60, there should be incentives that promote risk-taking and adventure-seeking if only to cover the full breadth of the game.
Blizzard's achievements system wouldn't require much work to support this, but given their track record of half-assed, minimal effort implementations it'll probably be missing from their version of HC.

Everyone say this shit's easy till they get in a cave and get fucked by a hyper spawn.
The path of least resistance to 60 still has some surprise for a lot of people who say shit's super ezpz
Yeah, after watching some of the HC death vids on YouTube, I just wonder why people are doing some of the things they're doing. Like who thinks it's a good idea to do the keep in Arathi? Or any cave? I guess some people just like to embrace the extra challenge.

"entering a cave" became a guildchat meme on my SoM server. You're just asking to get fucked by respawns.
Also, if you want to be ultra safe and just kill easy mobs for the final 55-60 stretch, Deadwind Pass is a pretty underrated grind spot. Kill the birds from 55-57ish and the ogres until 60. Birds drop decent vendor items and the ogres drop a bunch of runecloth. It's super slow and boring but the chances of dying are almost 0, even if you lag or disconnect.
I think it’s similar to life. We all take varying level of risks every day, but if we didn’t life would be boring as fuck. Riding motorcycles, sky diving, playing games all day instead of being physically active, etc.
That being said I don’t see the point of just surviving. Once you’re 60 and trying to obtain gear your risk of dying is exponentially increased and unavoidable. Might as well embrace it.

There was a short lived event server that was 1 death for EQ.

Feign Death classes rule the world as everyone else is constantly trained into the hole of toxicity.

Which class would rule?
Bards, Necromancers, or Monks? Would probably roll a Bard to stay mobile.

Oh forgot about Shadow Knights too lol.
Bards may not have FD but I think could still be viable to outrun the trainers, possibly.

Two monks working together could train a horde of mobs to both sides of a zone line that they know you are running to, and you will be dead before your screen refreshes and can start Selos.

I had to post this just because it is hilariously degenerate. It came across my feed and I was just cracking up watching it. I dug into the highlighted streamers videos a bit and he picked up a sub from me and I dont even play Classic anymore.

Getting griefed by kids when I only had 2 hours to play is why the PVP server killed it for me. Do they have a populated PVE server where people are leveling? I bet that would feel more productive.
