General Discussion

Like most players here, I have been clamouring out for a tougher gaming experience.

By tough, I do not mean ridiculous timesink, or having to grind out the best gear.  In this day and age, of games that guide you by the hand, those (as well as raiding which requires more timesink and organisation) are what equates to a skillful player.

Therefore, for a long time now, many of us have been looking for a game that does not molly-coddle you.  A game that punishes you, without some silly respawn point whch gives you a tiny penalty for a couple of minutes.

Sure, the bulk of players don't want harsh penalties.  But what about those of us who are in search of a true challenge?

Well Dufus has finally announced a perma-death server on 26th september.

It may not be the greatest game.  But it is free2play, and a lot better than the standard crud out there.

If you can bear the cutesy style, then this might be the start of the 'hardcore' revoloution.

Let me know what you think.

1998 www.mankind.net launches their beta test. I've put at least 20 people game over there..

Where were you?

Have fun doing the same thing, over, and over, and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over again

umm i dont support perma-death but isnt this almost the same for all games when you take out the scenery and mentality?

 Anyone who wants a perma death game is delusional.  Net is not stable enough for such an animal.

Any company who implements such will truely regret it, customer service will spend eons on petitions on deaths from disconnects, lagging, etc.  So the dufuses over at Dofus will surely regret their decisions.

Shaiya has had perma-death for hardcore mode players since day one on all servers so Dufus is not the first to do this. I'm glad you did finally find a game you like though. Have fun re-rolling a lot.

No, it's not the same.  In normal games, once I finish a quest, I never repeat it. 

And by the way, all games support permadeath.  All you have to do is reroll when you die.

It's good that there is finally a place where self-flagelating fools can go and do their thing without annoying the rest of us who are not so inclined.

What do you think EVE/CCP does when someone petitions them to replace their ship that someone worked months to attain? How is this going to be any different....
