Permanent Vanilla 1.12.1 hardcore server at evergreen-hc.com, realmlist set realmlist evergreen-hc.com, with the player supplying their own unmodified 1.12.1 client and no launcher or custom client patches. Free to play with zero pay-to-win or paid services, described as blizzlike with normal experience rates, permanently on patch 1.12.1 and with no seasons and no wipes, so progress is never undone. The hardcore ruleset is the product: on death the character is flagged and cannot be revived, resurrection abilities still cost mana and play their animation but do nothing, the release-spirit resurrection window is gone, and the Spirit Healer keeps rewritten dialogue without the resurrection sickness option. Every death is announced server-wide with the character's level and cause, covering falling damage, drowning and pet-caused deaths, with wording that changes for generic and unique monsters and a themed sound effect, and every level 60 arrival is announced to all players. Its Changes page lists a rebuilt leashing model that it says follows official hardcore server rules: leash timers tracked per player rather than one shared monster timer, a threat-ordered leash queue, an initial no-break radius cut from 50 to 31 yards, a 1,200 yard leash cap for open-world elites and bosses, leash durations from 11 seconds at levels 1 to 29 rising to 12, 13, 14 and 15 seconds by bracket to 60, linked packs sharing one timer with the assist window cut from 1,500 to 500 milliseconds, and stated rules for pets, totems, fleeing and crowd control. The site says it is a small new project whose population is still growing, and its homepage reads Server online. No player counter is published at our October 18 2026 read, so the band is unknown. REFRESHED Oct 19 2026: still no player counter anywhere on the site, so the band stays unknown, and the homepage still reads Server online. The homepage now carries a Quality of Life panel listing smarter pets, accidental PvP flag protection and other small fixes, sitting alongside the Blizzlike, Client Compatibility, Hardcore, Leashing and Free to Play panels, and it repeats that this is a small, new project whose population is still growing. Its Connect page spells out the setup and confirms the client claim: the player must supply their own 1.12.1 client, set realmlist evergreen-hc.com in realmlist.wtf, create an account and start WoW.exe, with a note that the game does not accept email addresses as a login, and third-party pointers for 1.12.1 client information and 1.12.1 addons. Its Changes page carries the full permadeath, announcement and leashing rules we recorded on October 18 and adds two details worth keeping: Reincarnation, Soulstone and Twisting Nether cannot be used, and the Spirit Healer reads with more lore-accurate dialogue while dropping the resurrection sickness option. Nothing here changes the status or the band
