Hardcore Ironman Mode
Have you tried the gamemode yet?
It's basically the same as a normal ironman (not being able to trade, having to do all damage on a monster for it to count, having to get everything yourself, etc) but the big difference is that when you die you lose your hardcore status and are reverted to a normal ironman.
This also locks your hardcore ironman progress in the hiscores and you'd have to make a new account in order to try it again.

If you haven't played this before I suggest trying it out, it's a lot of fun and gives a true feeling of satisfaction while playing the game in my opinion.
Ofcourse if this isn't for you then you can also play any other gamemode but this thread is going to be about hardcore ironman specifically.

How to start a Hardcore Ironman?
Once you get to the end of the tutorial island (near the wizard) you can talk to the person with the red armor.
This guy will give you the option to become a Hardcore Ironman and also gives you the option wether you want your account to be able to be changed back to a normal account whenever you like by providing a bank pin (runescape bank pin lol).
Keep in mind the bank pin will also be used to access your bank throughout the game so remember it.



Hopefully this thread interests you to play this aswell.
Runescape has been getting a lot more attention recently and is actually growing quite rapidly again.
So I thought I'd go ahead and make a thread to hopefully remember people of runescapes existence and that it's far from dead.

Also, if you'd wish to add me in-game, my hardcore ironman username is Senpai Pixel, just let me know here if you added me in case I'm not online etc.
