Did your precious Hardcore character die in Diablo 3? Oh, you're just going to go give the sad, puppy eyes to Blizzard support and say that your account was hacked and that you'd like a rollback? WELL, TOO BAD!
Today's 1.0.7 patch for the game also brings with it a strict denial of rollbacks on Hardcore characters. That's right, you're just going to have to suck it up and admit you are terrible at the game when you die.
That certainly wasn't everything that came with the big 1.0.7 patch for Diablo 3. No, sir! There are a ton of changes, so many that we're just going to link you to this rather handy Battle.net list of the entire changelog so you can scope it all out for yourself.

Hardcore characters were never intended to be revived or undeleted by an account rollback. Bringing Hardcore characters back to life via rollback really isn't in the spirit of Hardcore (where death is permanent, no matter the circumstances). When we originally adapted our rollback services for Diablo III, however, we didn't have the technology to make Hardcore characters exempt. We've wanted to bring our rollback policies regarding Hardcore characters in line with the game for a while, and as of patch 1.0.7 we will have the tools to do so.
In recent months, we've discovered that some players who’ve lost Hardcore characters through normal gameplay will fake an account compromise and request a rollback through Customer Support in order to get their characters revived. Not only is this an abuse of the services we provide to the community, but it also impacts other players who have submitted legitimate inquiries by increasing wait times across the board.
