*Ladder characters are created on the Realms by checking the Ladder Character box when creating a new character. Ladder characters can only create and join Ladder games, which non-Ladder characters cannot join. Once a Ladder character has been created, it cannot be converted to a non-Ladder character until the end of the Ladder season. | *Ladder characters are created on the Realms by checking the Ladder Character box when creating a new character.

*Ladder rank of a dead Hardcore character will be preserved as long as it is not deleted.

If a player does not log in with a dead Hardcore character at least once every 90 days, it expires and can then be deleted by anybody else creating a new character with the same name. | *Ladder rank of a dead Hardcore character will be preserved as long as it is not deleted.
