Different Server Types

[KumaAkuma]

Because it creates unnecessary workload for the developers? You people clearly have no idea how much work development is.

Yes it's really hard to make add a few variables that make mobs have less/more health, hit weaker/harder, have lower/higher resistances.

On easy mode servers you could have mobs die "fast" as the coblyns used to do.
On normal mode could be a decent challenge to kill.
Hardcore mode could be FFXI old style where you could need parties to actually kill something.

I'm not saying make different games on different servers. Just different difficulties.

Yes and adding this doesnt destroy any sense of balance the game has *rolls eyes*

a few mmo are like that

lost chaos and shi something there are by the same game devs.
both have an ultimate mode where if your character does someone must raise you. If your not raised in time your character gets deleted. Sorta like a perminate death.

so it is doable w/o ruining the balance.
the only issue with ffxi is the servers have to smal of a community.
