Find yourself in Classic Hardcore

Self-Found Mode is an opt-in gameplay feature that players will access from the Hardcore realm character creation screen when they create a new level one character. Participating players will be signified by a “Self-Found Adventurer” buff that communicates to others the additional restrictions players have placed on themselves as they journey through Azeroth.

In this mode, players are unable to:
• Initiate trades (including enchants) with other players
• Send or receive most mail (NPC or quest-generated mail will still be accessible)
• Access the auction house

As this is an opt-in system, players may also choose to end their self-found journey at any time by visiting an Apprentice Watcher in the main cities of Ironforge and Darnassus for Alliance players and Orgrimmar and Undercity for Horde players. Once toggled off, players are unable to turn it back on.
