So you want player deaths to mean something, eh?

Scratch the monthly fee. Scratch the cash shops. It's time to load that account with 1UPs!

Can you imagine the change of behavior?

What would you say to the moron who trained a bunch of add-on mobs during the raid?

What would you say to the tank who refuses to hold aggro?

What would you say to the healer who went afk?

What would you say about the "Lost Connection" deaths?

What would you say to player who ganked you from the bushes?

What would you say to the player who opened the exploding chest?

IMAGINE

That reminded me of Entropia Universe.

You're the winner!

Yeah, that would make for some wild dynamics.

I can think of a number of potential ways to abuse the system to the detriment of others, but if you could get around those problems, I think it's actually an awesome idea.

I like your idea..its brilliant

that wouild be VERY interesting

it just might be crazy enough to work.

I cant remember, who yea i do now.  In LOTRO there is an acheviment award for getting to level 30 without dieing.  Im not sure if there is any other things like that in wow or any other games but its doable, just not in raids or something where you can die easily or dungeons for that matter.

There would be alot of young kids chewing into there college tuition.  Just think, giving up all there money for a mmorpg, the irony...

F2P with a limit of X deaths a week would work so much better.  Allow players to get addicted to a game by letting them get to a certain level without having this death penalty, but when they reach it, the death penalty hits hard.  The value of X would be enough to let players keep playing to a limited extent, and would be small enough to encourage bad players to reroll and make new characters to fill up the low to mid level areas.

Additionally, you could have an "unlimited death pass" that lasts a month for those who REALLY suck...or like subs.

...not that I particularly like the idea...but thats just me (im not really a big death penalty fan).

If I was a tank I would demand I got paid a dollar to die for you squeashy folk, or no tanky for you.

So they charge you a buck for every time you die?  So no one would ever run challenging content because fear of death.  PvP would be non existant and completely unrewarding.  People would rage quit by the hundreds.  Or thousands. 

After a year the game would enjoy a wonderfully healthy population of 12 people.  Awesome.

*BIG GRIN*

Pay me in respawn tokens or no tanky.  I could see that.  It could become an in-game currency.

Sub but if you survive 30 days you get free month and become neutral for that free month.all can kl yousurvive that free month you get bis gear say a neckless

Or make it so you can buy respawn tokens with gold off of cash shop buyers.  For them it's like buying gold.  For you it's farm so you don't have to pay the subscription.

So if you dont buy resspawn token you stay penilised ffor dying and walkoing back.i can live with tjat

People would turn off their computer when they are about to die to try and claim "I got killed because i went link dead!!" all the time and it would be a CS nightmare.

This is the beauty of this.it is optional.

This satire is delicious.

I bet there is a dev tryimg to add our idea to their game.would prob work with all paid sub mmo also lol.
