Hardcore Heritage Coming Soon!

Cazic Thule, Blackburrow, Lower Guk, Unrest, Crushbone, and one yet-to-be-named zone will be revamped to high levels as part of Hardcore Heritage which starts next week:

Are you ready to revisit some of your favorite classic zones and experience all new challenges? Well Hardcore Heritage is almost here!

Hardcore Heritage, one of our yearly events where we revisit some older zones and update them to provide a more challenging environment, is coming to a server near you soon! Spread over the months May to July, you'll have an opportunity to visit the old stomping grounds with entirely new foes to battle.

The schedule for events is as follows:

5/23 – 6/12

    * Blackburrow (Level 80)
    * Cazic Thule (Level 80)

6/13-7/3

    * Lower Guk (Level 85)
    * Unrest (Level 85)

7/1-7/21

    * Crushbone (Level 90)
    * ?????????? (Level 90)

This year we're presenting two newly revamped zones, Crushbone and one other yet to be announced. Nostalgia and loot will abound, make sure you stop by and visit all the old spots from Trainer Hill to Emperor Crush's throne room itself! There's even a new challenge for two to three groups of players, can you defeat Emperor Crush and his stalwart allies?

How will you handle the might of the Crushbone Orcs? Check back in the coming weeks as we reveal the final exciting zone to receive a revamp this year. We're positively chilly with anticipation!

You can take a peek at the Level 80 and 85 zones:

I want to see Kael and Acrylia Caverns revamped as the level 95 then. That would be awesome. Ring events FTW!

Im sure she will be revamped into a raid and/or group mob capable of being killed by a group/raid of 90s.
Interesting

Lower Guk/Unrest are listed as lvl 85 but their previous incarnations were lvl 80. Upgrading the upgrades or just a typo?
Think about it....

It looks like they left a clue. If my guess is correct it will be one of my favorite zones, permafrost.

Crushbone is so small it's gonna be a "you stole my caaaamp!" nightmare.

RunnyEye would be an interesting choice. I never really fought there but my brief stay as a wee little chanty was scary!

Too bad they won't have all the zones going on at once.
Oh No

I like hunting in these zones as a lowbie character and now I find out that they are going to changed for the WHOLE SUMMER school break. How am I going to do my enchanter epic if I cant survive in L Guk to get my SMR? Surely they have a plan to let the zones be "normal levels" on some days. SOE - PLEASE dont forget about those of us who dont have high level characters yet!
Oh No

if u have all the expansions there are many zones in with u can go to in order to lvl from 0-80 losing 6 wont slow any one down. i assume there are still hot zone for toons 1-80 that are not revamped. in fact i believe u can lvl 1-80 starting at crestant reach and just keep walking north. wont need to go to pok or get ports from anyone. and lvling in the newbie zone from 1-10 is quick for being in a zone u cant plvl.
Oh No

Sadly, SOE rarely concerns itself with lowbie characters since it's the high levels they are more concerned to keep interested and keep in game. It has often been a difficulty for those of us who do not only play 1 toon, or like my wife and myself, who very much enjoy playing a wider selection of classes and have multiple characters. We tend have lower characters overall and in general, are seldom given the kind of special events and breaks that the much higher levels are given. It would be nice to have special events for low to mid levels. It would also be nice to have a little bit of warning about 80+ events. My wife's lvl 60 rogue got killed in literally 2 seconds, going to try and farm some poison making supplies for my lower level rogue. We had not heard at that time that Unrest was now a very high level zone. However, don't hold your breath on any of it changing significantly. :)
