Permanent Death Servers

[Alhanelem]

I would only even touch this if raising was still possible. Thus you're only really screwed if you're KOed somewhere that nobody can help you. But... that doesn't even make sense.

in FFXIV, and in FF in general, you get K.O.'d. you don't "die."

IMHO this is too niche of a market for SE to cater to. It's even more niche than RP. I won't discount the thrill of living on the edge in this way. I simply don't feel it fits MMORPGs in general. It's better suited for a smaller scale Co-op game like the Diablo series (which has options for this).

So on that note, if SE adds a RP server (with stricter naming and chat conventions), then maybe I could see this happening. a RP server would most definitely happen before a "hardcore/permadeath" mode/server.
