yes... like a door in a wall that is marked with something and you
enter/leave through that door. only characters with the hardcore tag will be
able to enter, so if you have non-hardcore in your party, the door is sealed
and unavailable/

The items will be weapons only.

i am thinking there will be a hardcore dungeon also at the end of the game
that will basically be a challenge for players... that will  have to be
tested but considering every player can have a hardcore only party, its just
a part of the game... not double
