Perm Death

[Alex]

I think perm death would be a good idea in this game. I don't like the idea of you dying and then you magically get all your stuff back. It makes the game unrealistic. But hey, whatever's fun I'll go for.

Permadeath would be okay, if there was a way around it. I won't get too far into the details, as I'll save those for the dev board, but I will say that people in EQ put as much as 100+ DAYS (2400+ hours) into their characters, and losing one for good would be really bad for a person, ya know?

I'm going to agree. We've got enough permadeath in real life- I'm certainly not going to pay for it in a MMRPG.

And that's the general feeling across the entire boards, and with the staff in general, so you can have a pretty safe bet that there won't be any straight-up permadeath in the game (although there are some less-severe variations of this, like Arkim's post in Dev Interaction (called "My ideas on death and 'special items') that have more of a chance of being worked with).

Wow! I got a plug from Slitherrr, mwahahaha =)

That's nothing new here. The staff will talk and listen to your ideas, That's why there are so many people hanging about.
