[Race to 90] The DSLR Ironman Challenger - Reloaded

I would guess it would be safe to use a separate installation of WoW for this.

What addons should be safe to use?

I woud say for the bare minimum:

SpartanUI or pure Bartender for bar setup.
Auctioneer

How do you know if someone dies?

Armory shows death stats. Actually it shows nearly everything regarding deaths, kills, etc.

I would say the better classes for this would be hunter or warlock because of the pets that can tank.

I think I will go with Warlock for my first try.

Now to pick a server - faction.

I agree with you JB at the end the addons are on how the player wants to live her/his "hardcore" experience and there is no way to verify the usage.

So we will that open to players to decide what they want to do.

I will do a separate WoW installation for this so I can control it better.

I am bored with all games right now, but I may try this.

You could even go one step further and play it on the opposite faction you are used to. I have never had a horde character, I may roll horde.

Here's what I learned after NUMEROUS deaths, and then finally getting to 32 in one piece

Yes, hunters are the majority that have survived, and made it to the end; however, there was a warlock and a mage that made it as well. As a hunter, I ended up using a bear, after good advise from others here on the boards. Tough tank the bear. You are allowed to raise your dead pet, which I did a couple times; if you are more interested in the role-playing aspect, you may bury your dead companion and go seek a new one.

After a rough start, you will see the gold come in from quests, I did not bother with the auction house - just not worth it, repairs were minimal.

There are sites out there that will list what vendors in what town will have better gear you can buy that is NOT green/blue, try to upgrade when you can.

Being on the Wyrmrest server, people there were used to seeing others on the challenge - some may question you as to what you are doing, or try to invite you to their guilds - I just had to block guild invites, spent too much time trying to explain to others why I was not interested in joining their guild. I also got a lot of "good luck" whispers

The biggest key here is - slooooowwwww and steady. There are already people who have made this happen, you will not be first, or second, or even tenth, so no rush. Pick your fights well, be aware of what is around you, watch out for swarms.
