Can we please get a perma-death server?

Max level on a HC server wouldn't mean anything because you can still spam FATEs to 50. Then buy high level FC gear which will sync down and make you OP for Job/AF quests. You also already ruined the experience because you have done the fights on your other character on a normal server. There is also the issue of the other 7 people in your party for Primals or Raids losing their characters through no fault of their own because that one other person D/C, Lag, or just plain sucked.

You could always just delete your character and start over on a normal server if you die.

Solved.

I agree, Perma Death Servers aka Hardcore Mode is a must for gamers who enjoy the thrill of perma death lurking in every corner

They would get hit with lawsuits and GM calls like "Spent 100$ on my sub, played for a year, then lost my character to LAG" and stupid things like that. People in certain parts of the world sue over the most trivial of things, and actually win.

They can't sue if they agreed to play under those conditions. And I'm sure the terms of service would be written up to reflect that. But then it would have to be a distinctly separate server from the rest of ARR, which would require it's own user agreement.

Oh how wrong you are.

Perma-death server with no dungeon finder?

I would probably join that server.. the community would probably much better than what we have to deal with now on the DF.

Hell... I would just be happy to join a server with no DF tbh.

having played a few games with perma-death...

oh god! no it wouldn't.... You think DF is bad? Someone's character getting killed because of an honest mistake in a dungeon, I have seen REAL WORLD friendships end over it.

Lol, care to explain? The TOS are a contract, even if you don't read it. If it states that the developer is not responsible for losses because of the perma-death nature of the game, and you click ok, you have no legal recourse. The TOS of any game has been written by the company's lawyers. They are pretty well protected or you would see them being sued all the time.

Too much SAO. I too sometimes think how it would be playing on perma death server, but then i remember those lags, desyncs, freezes from diablo 2, diablo3 and path of exile. Too bad there was no mention of someone dying in SAO because of lag

[Sub-Xero]

I'm totally for this! I hope they give you your perma-death server so I can transfer over there as a crafter, totally exploit the living hell out of your economy since none of you are going to have any of the dungeon/tome gear or crafter levels since you will all inevitably die and lose your levels and essentially force you guys into buying all of my crafted gear!

The game would require massive rebalancing to make this realistic. Simply not going to happen. As it stands Titan would end the server, and if by some miracle a decent number of players made it past that then the coil would delete characters left and right. This game is designed in such a way that death isn't just something that can happen. It's something that will without a doubt happen. It just depends on how close to end game you get. The safest characters would be the ones that never try to go past Titan.
