• Lockout Issues for Trial of the Crusader: The lockout for this raid isn’t working correctly for some players. While finishing the raid and reclearing some bosses is acceptable, any abuse of this situation can lead to account actions at the development team’s discretion.
• Classic Era Hardcore PTR is Open: The PTR for Classic Hardcore realms was opened on Thursday. Check out the development notes or share your experiences after trying it out. A thread to collect PTR availability changes has been started.  
• Development Approach to Hardcore Realms: A post on the WoW Community Council forum focused on best-supporting player agency, some adjustments that will be made, and others that will not.
