Can we please get a perma-death server?

[Lovehandle]

Thanks!

wow, nice first post .... >.>

To answer the OP ... I used to be a heavy D2 hardcore player. I got to level 76 in PoE, only to die to a terrible desync. I died in Act 2 inferno vs. Belial before 1.03 in D3.

Point is, Hardcore is for ARPGs, not MMORPGs.

[Shikoba]

Granted.

But farming for tomes take 5x as long.

[Dorin]

Yeah right.

[hydralinsk]

Ahh, good 'ol hardcore.

I remember when I was playing Diablo 3, back before I realized how bad it was. I had a hardcore demon hunter. Got her to act 2 hell. Then, I rubber banded like hell (no pun intended), game froze for 10 seconds due to server lag, and when it resumed I was dead.

I uninstalled immediately and never played it again

You guys don't have to play on the server if you don't want to...Obviously.

Myself and many others will have a blast playing this game mode.

That's all well and great, and I'm sure I would to. The point I was trying to make, is

- Why do you think you couldn't use the RMAH in D3 on a hardcore char?
- Why do you think there has never been any hardcore servers in any successful subscription based MMOs? (I say this because there might be in some obscure MMO I don't know about)

And the answer to both those questions, is companies don't want to be liable for crap you invested time into, and potentially money into, and then lost due to whatever reason. It's a legal thing.

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.

Or maybe you and the rather glaring minority of players that'd actually bother can save SE the effort and resources and delete your own characters upon death.

cha-ching, we have a winner

Not really. They could just update their terms and agreement information.

Oh really?

Blizzard couldn't do it for D3. And I know how you fanboys love to praise the almighty Blizzard. It's not as simple as that when it comes to the almighty dollar.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the hardcore mechanic. But when people have invested money into a character, the whole dynamic changes.

Wow relax pothead. I'm not a big Blizzard fan. Don't see what there is to be upset by, odds are it will never happen. More of a fun idea to think about happening.

Love when people realize they don't know what they are talking about and resort to deflective posts like this.

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.
