Do you miss Hardcore?
Do you need something to do until the new expansion “Magic of Myth Drannor” comes out on July 31st 2024?
Do you like to be entered into raffles to earn prizes?
When: July 1-31
Where: Wayfinder
Who: KozyBean & Troggytrog & more from the DDO community
What time: You can start as soon as 12am July 1st, in your time zone, BUT there will be an Opening Ceremony July 1st, 9am ET for funsies including a Parade!!!! The parade will be us walking from Valeria Sinderwind (where you enter Stormreach Harbour from Korthos) to the marketplace tent circling the subterrane entrance. (There may be baller music during our parade) Once there, I will say a few inspirational words on stream ( I may have a costume on) .
We'll walk to the marketplace and circle the entrance to the subterrane. This will also be livestreamed on my channel (and maybe streamed by more content creators)!
That's it. Pretty simple. There will be 3 goals to achieve this UHL. If your character reaches any of these goals you will be entered into the raffle to win a prize for that category. (if you achieve multiple goals, you will be entered into each raffle) you may only enter each raffle once since we’ll have limited prizes. There will be a separate thread in the forums where players can post screenshots showing the completion of a goal that will enter you into the raffle. We have not established what the prizes will be yet, but we’ll announce it here when we have an update.
Prize categories:
1,750 favor
Lvl 20
10 reaper points
PRIZES: For each category there's: a 1,000, 500, and two 100 DDO Store point code, and there's 4 winners per category. Plus: 20 lucky hat codes will be raffled off!
Remember: Have FUN, be FRIENDLY and be FAIR. And enjoy the CHALLENGE!

If anything changes before the event goes live, I’ll post it here.
If you’d like to help organize/promote this event get in touch with me via forum DM. If you'd like to make an official UHL league guild/guildship happen please let me know. As far as I know you can do it for free and guildees can contribute platinum to upgrade. I’d like it to have an official name like “Unofficial Hardcore League Summer 2024” or something like that.
If you’d like to join the UHL discord server for a place to congregate and talk about this event (voice & text channels) in addition to this forum posts threads the link is below.

There will be polls/feedback options after this event to see if you’d like more events like this. I will also be making a forum post to assess interest in a PVP 3 parter event that I’ve been planning for quite some time.
Guild Info: So far we have two guilds already created for this event. An "Unofficial Hardcore League" guild, and "Dragon Claws Tavern". If you want to chat with others doing the UHL type /joinchannel UHL
If you're looking to join a guild there are many ways to join one. You can:
1. Message for an invite to a guild (specific or generic) in the /joinchannel UHL
2. Send a tell or mail in game to LunaroseUHL
3. Send a tell or mail in game to WartusksUHL (TheSmurffOfHardcore)

Come participate in the DDO Community’s first ever hosted Unofficial Hardcore League Summer 2024!
When: July 1-31
Where: Wayfinder
Who: KozyBean & Troggytrog & more from the DDO community
What time: You can start as soon as 12am July 1st, in your time zone, BUT there will be an Opening Ceremony July 1st, 9am ET for funsies including a Parade!!!! The parade will be us walking from Valeria Sinderwind (where you enter Stormreach Harbour from Korthos) to the marketplace tent circling the subterrane entrance. (There may be baller music during our parade) Once there, I will say a few inspirational words on stream ( I may have a costume on) .
We'll walk to the marketplace and circle the entrance to the subterrane. This will also be livestreamed on my channel (and maybe streamed by more content creators)!
The Rules and Guidelines for the Unofficial Hardcore Summer League 2024 are:
- Your character’s first name must end with UHL. (For example: KozyBeanUHL) This will allow everyone to identify others participating in the challenge. Of course you can run solo, but if you choose to run with others, you may only quest with people with the UHL tag in their name. If you put up an lfm make it clear that it’s for the UHL challenge.
- I’ve realized we said we were going to run quests at no higher than the quest’s base level, but in order to make it more like the HC experience and to reduce confusion we are now able to run quests up to max base level +2. So now if you run base level +0 it’s an Optional Bonus Challenge.
Sorry for the wording that caused confusion to many! Thanks for your patience as this is our first UHL event and it is not just one person running it. <3 Kozy - Start from scratch/level playing field: Start at level 1 (no iconics because they can't start with 0 xp like they do in HC). You may use items from alts in your bank if they're doing the UHL challenge. Use what you find in quests, auction houses, or what you can purchase and/or trade from any in-game npc vendors, traders or brokers.
- One life to live: If you die, you can't use that character any longer in the event, and must leave the event guild (if there is one, and if it gets full). You may not pass items from your dead character to other characters or players. Dead characters can no longer use the shared bank.
- Heirloom items (optional): You can leave 1 item to your successor/next event character as an Heirloom Item. An event character can only ever have 1 Heirloom Item declared at a time. Designate it by declaring in your BIO.
- Loot the Body!!! (optional): When a player character dies, and they consent, their party members can loot items from the dead character. This excludes the Heirloom Item designated in the dead character's BIO. It’s okay to resurrect the character so they can trade the items, but that character still counts as dead for the challenge and must leave the instance after the looting is complete. Your party may choose how to allocate the items.
Basically, if it's allowed in HC, it's allowed in UHL. If you have a question or are unsure about rules or guidelines, ask yourself "is this allowed in regular HC?" (i.e. soloing okay, dice rolls okay, tomes okay, no otto's boxes).
That's it. Pretty simple. There will be 3 goals to achieve this UHL. If your character reaches any of these goals you will be entered into the raffle to win a prize for that category. (if you achieve multiple goals, you will be entered into each raffle) you may only enter each raffle once since we’ll have limited prizes. There will be a separate thread in the forums where players can post screenshots showing the completion of a goal that will enter you into the raffle. We have not established what the prizes will be yet, but we’ll announce it here when we have an update.

PRIZES: For each category there's: a 1,000, 500, and two 100 DDO Store point code, and there's 4 winners per category. Plus: 20 lucky hat codes will be raffled off!
Remember: Have FUN, be FRIENDLY and be FAIR. And enjoy the CHALLENGE!
OPTIONAL BONUS CHALLENGES (for fun, no bonus prizes):
- Always run quests whose base levels are at least as high as your level(exception: devil assault): Character level must be no higher than the base level of the quest. E.g. If you are level 1, you run the level 1 quests you want on whatever difficulty you want in the compendium. N/H/E or Reaper (1-10). Try to challenge yourself (and your group if applicable). Level restrictions are quest level +0.
- No ship buffs. Ships can be used for transport. Guild vendors are permitted, like the ones in House K.
- Don’t use AH/ASE (Auction House/Auction Shard Exchange).
- This One life to live rule also applies to Hirelings. If a hireling in your use dies, you can no longer summon that hireling. Make a note of this Hirelings death in your BIO and never summon the Hireling again because he's dead to you. This is a per character basis, but can be a per party basis if the party so chooses (meaning that if another party member's Frogo died in a previous quest, you also won't be able to summon Frogo).
