Hardcore Race to 60 – Leaderboard
First up, we have Vitochie, who at level 37 is our highest level recorded death to date. He was AoE-grinding Murlocs in Dustwallow Marsh at the time of his unfortunate death. Winner of the 2023 Hardcore Race, Vitochie’s death has cleared the way for <OnlyFangs> member Ahmpy to pull into first place. At the time of writing, Ahmpy is level 44 and in Tanaris.
Tommysalami of <OnlyFangs> died shortly after in the saddest possible way – a disconnection. Tommy was level 33.
