Good that they posted the info, since I know what the game gonna be. It no longer inerested in me.  I not cool with Perma Death, I Stop playing Realm of the Mad God for that reason. Repeating starting over get old. I would rather just play another game. Then keep recreating that class over.

I all good for PVping other players, But I don't like the way they are gonna do it. Forced PVP is another  nail in it for me. I do PVP from time to time buy only because it not forced upon me in other mmos I play as I can choose if I wanna do it now or not.  Both Perma Death and Forced PVP is why I not looking foreward to play this game and is no longer inerested. 

But then I glad this game exist so those who are hardcore PVP which been wanting a game just for them. Can now play one and not complain about the other types of players  ruining games for them.

Yeah, no thanks.

Sounds like a risky move to me ..perma death.

Hard to imagine a game doing well with that in it. But time will tell i guess. Would depend ALOT on the mechanics and time to get back into the action. 

Just sounds like an huge stick.. better have a even bigger carrot on that stick too:) Just hard to imagine what that would be without getting tedious in a hurry.

Permadeath is death for this game. No game is without some cheats/bots/hacks. No interent game is without random disconnects.

How happy would any of you be to lose a character due to a power burp?

Permadeath will make people want to cheat and complain more.  It will make the community worse not better.

Well.. this game is not a usual MMO. Permadeath was good for Quake, so it will be good for this one.

It is much more a Action Multiplayer Dungeon Crawler, it is about the tough challenge against Mobs or Players.. and permadeath fits perfectly well in this game. So i will give it a try. :)

But i dont expect a World, or anything like it, much more a lot of fast and tough action..  i miss the dungeon crawler genre, with games like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Ultima Underworld and so on.. and this one is such a game, just mulitplayer(and not so much massive multiplayer, but didnt fit in a dungeon crawler anyways), with good and crazy action and some tough decisions.

And i guess to get to deepest level of some dungeonn will be a serious challange.. and not comparable with those raids or dungeons from other games. It is much more mayhem.

The point is really what you expect about it. I expect a mix from Dungeon Master, Quake, Hexen(IDSoft) and the like. And that sounds fun for me. And could have a lot more longlevity than some other games, although your character want live that long.

I know barely looking into it at all but...

"Wizardry Online"

That title online makes me feel like its as far away from hardcore as feasibly possible. It just sounds like the complete opposite of hardcore if it was to have an opposite. The only thing I can think of that would sound less hardcore would be to call it "Rainbows Online".

Go play any of the old Wizardy titles. When you're lost, alone, and getting raped by Fuma Ninjas and Reapers then come back here and sound like you know what you're talking about.

I love a good challenge, but in the current environment so many people cheat, especially in a permadeath game where they can have great fun ruining someone else's day.  There is no challenge when someone cheats.  Good luck trying to have fun playing this game, it will be more frustration than anything else.  About the only way to play this game is with a group of people you know.  If you attempt it solo your in game time will be short lived.  Pick up groups will be a disaster waiting to happen.

Cleves game was actuall;y supposed to come out in 1999/2000 I think but he is a perfectionist and kept "adding stuff"/"fixing stuff" etc - never satisfied. Now in 2012 he decided to release and honestly the Demo thats out there was ready to go... Add years worth of content and fixes to that-

So...13 years in vaporware?  Whoo, we in Nukem territory now.

Ed: Oh my.

Again, must emphasize as I mentioned above (granted I typoed Alone as Online but meh) the Wizardry title just doesn't make it sound hardcore. It has nothing at all to do with the gameplay, just the title. Not saying its not hardcore, just initially hearing the title the last thing I thoguht was hardcore.

Rampant PvP killing of others will see players earn the 'criminal' title and city guards will attack those players on site, forcing them into the less-reputable parts of town when they need a break or to sell things.

In addition, the bounty system will curb the enthusiasm for out-of-control killing. Any player can put a bounty on any other player. Any player can accept that bounty and try their hand at bringing down the criminal. According to Tom, the higher the bounty, the better the chances are that the criminal will be taken out.

Meh, lost pretty much all interest in this... :/

Player self policing never worked, why doing it over again and expect different result? So foolish...
