HC recruitment
Hey all
I think we've noticed that the HC community is fickle at best. We're the quickest sect to lose population due to death of characters, PvM or PvP. I'm pushing for the softcore community to try their best on HC. The larger community we can manage at the beginning, the more likely we are to hold a larger population. Gotta hook 'em early, like the tobacco industry! If only we had their numbers.... ok enough Dogma. So anyways, I dropped this post into the PvP forum, hoping to challenge some of the SC players to come over this way:
As an old time D2 player, I must admit I can no longer play softcore. Hardcore truly has it all, with only a few minor drawbacks.
I started playing HC in late .09, and haven't gone back to SC. The PvM aspects of it are far more entertaining, as you have your character on the line. The public is a different crowd altogether, you get to skip many of the flame-happy youngin's; though there are still flame-happy 'matured' players as well. But most importantly, as far as PvM goes, you get to prove your character's valor by his very existance: Avoiding death with every second he's played.
The most entertaining aspect of HC, however, is PvP. Nothing gets your heart racing like a loot duel. While the dueling rules are very different, and will certainly take some time to adjust to (There's virtually no such thing as BM), the rush you get while in the heat of battle cannot be matched by any game I've had the privelege to play yet.
There is the drawback of losing your character, and note, this is more likely to happen than not, especially coming from SC. However you will find a whole new meaning to the game. If you haven't played HC yet, make this your first attempt. Bring your f list over and start together. It may be your last chance to start a ladder fresh on HC. This last reset took closer to 2 years, than the 1 year pace it was on before. I urge you all to join the mayhem and excel as Diablo players. See you on HC!

Any help from you long-timers would be greatly appreciated, drop a post in there to reinforce the idea. This thread is also an easy one to end up getting flamed in, or to flame in, I think we should avoid it at all costs
