Permanent Death Servers

[IloveYouPumpkin]

If killed you're given the option of transferring to a normal server.

As someone who has played and enjoyed perm death RPGs, I must say this is one of the worst ideas yet. Basically as idiotic as the Diablo 3 players saying characters lost in hardcore mode should be transfered into normal mode.

Yeah don't get me wrong I would put harsher rules than anything in this thread but I'm trying to appeal to at least a few more people here. XD

* When you die in-game you also die IRL.

Someone has been watching way too much SAO I guess x)
Well I'm not one to complain. I just recently said how awesome such a game would be because you treasure your life a lot.. (except for the die in RL part obviously xD)
I think it's too expensive to have a whole server running for the few who'd want to go there. But I always kind of enjoyed PK servers in some games (although I hate PvP) because dying and losing equipment was permanent so I became extremely careful not to die or be found and learned how to outrun enemies and such. It's a lot of fun :3

But not for a main character after all.

Brain Burst style server. I like it. One can dream.

Oh gawd, what idiot necro-bumped this?

When you die ingame, the game uninstalls itself and then deletes system32 + sends a signal to fry everything in your PC/laptop.

Congratulations in order for Matsume on keeping a troll topic alive long enough to move out of the house, go to college, meet some tarted up hussy troll girl, and raise a new family of trolls to nurture in this brave new frontier.

I don't think anyone could do it better if they tried.

All the people against this sound like the same people who are against hardcore mode in D2 (which was all I ever played once I actually started in it).

Would it be significantly more rough in a game like XIV? Sure... but hey, that's where the fun comes in for some people.

I'm not reading all of these pages, instead one thought came to me, probably because I read that 'rocks fall, everyone dies' thing from another thread.

Sure, have them make a permanent death server, then everyon gets into it that wants to do that. And within a week, on a specific day and time, an unknown GM pops into the game world and moves zone to zone, killing everyone he sees. With the following message afterwards "Not such a great idea, was it? Would you like to try a different server?"
