    Permanent death only works well in games that have that option in mind when they're creating it. Like diablo or DayZ. You need to play for a long time in FFXIV to have a character progress far enough and at the moment it's not a fun endeavour to rinse and repeat.

    Like mentioned above, this is not an action rpg game. Nor some survival game like DayZ.

    <sarcasm>You're right, it takes forever to powerlvl to lvl 50...not to mention all the danger involved in gathering materials to spam enter craft</sarcasm>

    I for one think this would be a fun alternative. I imagine everyone would have a character on these servers and cherish them with ll they've got. The only problem I could see is running past a zone full of agro mobs that don't appear on your map til you're already dead. Once the regional servers are up and running and the new server architecture is in place for ARR this could be feasable.

    exactly how many lvl 50's do you think will be PL'ing people on a server with permadeath.

    fyi, this is the worst idea ive heard yet from any thread from any forum from any game.
