The primary purpose of this website is to serve as a LIVING, REAL-TIME LEDGER OF HARDCORE DEATHS. Every single hardcore death will be synced, every 5 minutes, directly to this website. When your champion falls, your first and last name, guild, race, class, level, and the executioner that took you down are etched here forever. Capturing all the millions of permadeath runs across WoW Forever.
The Living Death Ledger
The definitive historical record of every mortal soul claimed by Azeroth. When you die in game, your champion's first and last name, guild, race, class, level, and killer mob are recorded here within 5 minutes.
Browse through all 2.84M+ permadeath entries across all classic realms, complete with full pagination, advanced filters, and historical logs.
