Guild Wars 2 - Classic Hardcore Challenge

22 March, 2026

Greetings!

The website barely launched and we're ready to announce the first community event. Although it's less of a one-time event and more like the start of an ongoing community.

By chance Phandrel connected me with SilhouetteGaming, who was planning a Guild Wars 2 Hardcore Challenge and needed information about an ingame plugin to support the challenge. Naturally, I offered to help.

Raidcore will provide the infrastructure and develop a GW2 Classic Hardcore Addon that allows players to check other players' status (F2P, no deaths) to ensure the integrity of the challenge.

Challenge Information

Generally, the challenge is to achieve specific goals on a free-to-play account (beware of gravity) without dying, or you have to delete your character. There are a variety of goals, like crafting a Generation 1 Legendary Weapon or finishing the Old Lion's Court Raid Challenge Mode and more. You can find the full information on the Rules & Sign-Up or on the community Discord server.

Streamers & Creators

A bunch of content creators will be streaming and uploading videos to their youtube channels when the challenge officially begins on March 27th, 2026. You can find some of them and their channels below.

Good luck to all participants! Personally I'll stay far away from any level 15 wolves!
