| − | 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. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/?p=7934 Dead HC Characters] - Blizzard, 19/10/11</ref>

| |

| − | There is a possibility that the Halls of the Dead will not appear in the final game, per [[Bashiok]][http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/bashioks-twitter-o-rama]:

| − | {{iw|Hardcore 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.
