Darkfall

I say we petition Aventurine to implement perma-death into DF! I can't think of anything more hardcore than the chance of losing not only all of your personal belongings, but the very character you invested so much time in. Granted, I'd spend more than my fair share of time at the character creation screen, but it'd really add to the suspence of the game. It would also require people to rely more on others, and put the multi-player back into MMORPGs. For a game striving for realism and originality (and all things hardcore), amor loss just isn't a sufficient enough penalty for death!

Probably a joke post, but I'll respond. Perma-death, I'd say, is much too hardcore even for most of those who consider themselves "extremely hardcore PvPers". I don't think anyone sane would actually want to play a perma-death MMO for very long if it's got any form of non-consentual PvP in it (or any type of grind, which effectively rules out perma-death for all MMOs).

 Joke post or not, it demonstrates perfectly the cult of darkfall. Clinging to a game that will never take off in a vain attempt to seem "hardcore" for some unknown and mysterious reason

It's a game in which you will die A LOT. Perma-death would be weaksauce.

you seem to like bacon.

Anyway. Perma death lol, what a joke, what is 'hardcore' about it. Infact I am struggling to see how you can actually reach 'Hardcore' on a computer game unless we are talking TRON somehow manifesting itself into a real life situation...grow up please.

What would be so great about dying every two seconds to a bunch of kids zerging because they think its hilarious that you are deleted permanently, from which you have to go through the process of creaton of character, establishing links again with friends...who are also now dead...and guild integration....its a stupid thought and only one that a childs imagination could consider a great idea for an MMO....yeah, real hardcore man.....wack....or whatever the appropriate youth lingo is today to fit that sacrcastic end.

EDIT: besides, all the major decisions for this game have been made already.......what is the point of this thread.

Man what a great idea. What about, the person who kill you can play a football with your head and you as a ghost will run around him and his mates trying to catch it..

Love how we cant have one discussion thread on this forum without a troll playing internet badboy to compensate for himself.

As for the OP's topic...

This has been a debate that has come up many times on the official forums over the years.  The official stance is there will be no Permadeath (hardcore servers as they are also known as).

I could care less, though if they were to develop 1 server which had this ruleset, I would definitely try it out for the extra excitement.

You're completely right. You should go to the official forums right now and make a suggestion about perma-death (preferably in the Advanced Disscussion) and see how everyone will agree with you.

Perma death exists in EVERY MMO. Just delete your character when you die.

What you are really asking for is for you to be able to kill off other peoples characters, not your own.
