Since the release of Diablo 4 there has been a race between ambitious players. Because if you are one of the first 1,000 to reach level 100 in hardcore mode, your name will be engraved on a statue. This statue has now been unveiled but is yet to be engraved.
Why are players honored?

What’s the deal with the statue? Blizzard promised back in May that the first 1,000 players at level 100 in hardcore will get a name on a statue. Up until now, no one knew exactly what that would look like.
In a social post, the community Adam Fletcher has now shared a first picture of the statue. A giant, almost life-size Lilith now stands on the Blizzard campus in California, apparently near the famous Orc statue:
However, the engraved names of the players are still missing. This is because Blizzard has yet to check who is allowed to be entered at all. Because the achievement for level 100 had to be shared and then collected.
Blizzard is now checking whether the participants actually meet the requirements. For example, players from certain countries such as Russia and China are excluded and testers are also not eligible.
In addition, Blizzard reserves the right not to engrave inappropriate names. The exam will still take a while, but that’s understandable considering that names in carved stone can no longer be easily deleted or changed.
Let’s see if this statue also attracts pilgrims like in Berlin:
“Another bloody altar of Lilith?!”
The reactions to the statue are quite positive. The image of Lilith is apparently well done, with some fans showing surprise that the statue is real. They would have expected a place in the game, not a stone object in California.
But many fans also make fun of the statue and say: “What, another altar that we have to unlock?” Even some journalists joke and say: it will be difficult to reach them. Or they puzzle over what bonuses one might get for this altar.
For background: the altars of Lilith are hidden in the game and grant all characters on your account certain bonuses such as additional stats or Paragon points. However, some players feared they would have to do it all again soon, although Blizzard has already put those worries to rest:

How about you? Did you get a seat on the statue? Or is hardcore not your way of playing? Have you reached level 100 at all, or do you prefer to take it slow? In any case, we hope you don’t share this sad fate:
