The Halls of the Dead is a UI-based interface that allows you to see your dead Hardcore characters via your in-game profile. This UI will be similar to the in-game Armory and will display the characters with the equipment, attributes, skills, runestones, and other stats at their time of death. [1]
The dead character will not[2]take up one of your ten live character slots. Although not much else is known, it has been confirmed that the dead characters will not be able to be taken into a game to walk around and look at. [3]
Hardcore is not implemented in the Diablo III Beta test, so there has not yet been a sighting of the Halls of the Dead.
Diablo II Hardcore Graveyard
Diablo II Hardcore did not have any such feature, and dead Hardcore characters continued to occupy one of the eight slots on a Battle.net account. This forced players to delete dead characters eventually to clear our space, which could be a sentimental moment for a player.
Players went to lengths to record the existence of their Hardcore character. Fansite Diabloii.net [4]launched a Hardcore Graveyard in mid-2000, just weeks after the game's release. It presented screenshots plus captions that shared various useful details about the tragedy:
- Character Name, Class, Level, and Realm/SP:
- Location of Death:
- Cause of Death:
- Details:
- Greatest Regret:
- Famous Last Words:
- What Could Have Prevented This Tragedy:
In the years since then, players have maintained other such graveyards.
