Can we please get a perma-death server?

Its not. Try reading the thread before posting.

Also I don't how people can sit there and actually believe it is anything like the same thing.

Its mind bottling.

You know, what happens when your thoughts get all trapped up like in a bottle.

Their reasoning is that they want "high e-pen status" with their l33t gear/levels on a hardcore server.

its more of a RP thing but I agree being level 50 on a hardcore server is a lot cooler than being level 50 on a normal server.

I don't support this as it'd just promote asshatery. It's your n'th time getting to m'th quest and you're looking for a group as death is getting really annoying. Most groups won't want you because every current member is a valuable resource and introducing a new untested member would require training which could tie up valuable resources from the group schedule. And should your trainer(s) die, you just cost them a valuable member and another player a highly leveled and equipped character. Then there's my speed run example, which as said would only be run by groups and never through the Finder, not even to fill out one or two slots.

I would be up for a simi perma death.

Once per week resetting at JP midnight on sunday. You can save your current progress.
If you die you went back to that point and reset to that state.

This would work for mmo, Give the chance of losing what you have worked for but not everything.

Well you could support the idea for those of us that want to play it....And then choose not to play on the server =)

Everyone wins.

This could work....Just make it so if your character has died they respawn whenever servers restart.

This thread is full of classic cases of 'I wouldn't use it so nobody should get it'.

I probably wouldn't play in it but no reason not to have a HC server to cater to the demographic, imo. I will agree though that present server issues require attention before this. But in the end, why not?

Imagine getting to level 50, you are doing Titan and all of the sudden you get a lag spike and you cannot avoid an aoe.

Why can't you just delete your char every time you die rather than waste dev time on something very few people would actually do?
Just delete it and its the same exact thing.

They wanna feel good about themselves and stroke their own egos over being the only high level people in a video game.

And that's totally worth the time/resources they want SE to allocate to implement this server to please the tiny minority of the actual playerbase that'd even bother with it.

SE is not going to fork over the money or resources for a venture that isn't going to make them money. Unless those wanting this can come up with the numbers to support the cost for equipment and changing the game itself to support this style of play it's not going to happen. It's not a matter of I don't like it therefor no-one should get to do it. It's a matter of not having the numbers to support the effort.
