why do people want a death penalty? what is so great about loosin xp? it just makes you play the game longer which makes you pay more. why do people like this? i dont understand this. whats wrong with no death penalty? why cant we just enjoy a game with no negative outcome? even if you loose its ok just get back in there and try harder. what is wrong with this? the best death penalty if you consider it one is the wow ghost walk. i think that was pretty cool. i didnt think the fixin armor thing was necessary. findin your body was punishment enough. sometimes it takes like 5 minutes to find it. then you have to wait till the enemies were gone to res. i like that its unique and original. plus its not too serious like loosin xp. whats wrong with this?

One thing nice about having an xp death penalty is it keeps noobs that never bother learning how to play their char from getting higher level so they are motivated to learn how to not die.

If it was, it might be, |
It is very simple. Because it feels pointless if it doesn't have a penelty |

It is all vaporware until I see it go live! |
For many folks the thrill in the game comes from the risk of loss....the great the loss, the more fun they have....

It makes the person who pked get a reward by getting all/some of the enemies hard work. ITs only fair.

It is the thrill you get as you get close to death and you just barely make it out alive. It makes fighting more exciting expecially when you are getting real close. |

Death penalty is ok as long as it doesn't make you de-level. EQ2 is pretty good with death penalty.

If there's nothing to lose, what's the point in winning?

Here's a tip for those who complain about death penalties........DON'T DIE NOOB
I am all for harsh death penalties in every MMORPG, it really does help removing the horrible players. You continue to level while they continue to search for their body, after awhile you're 3-4 levels ahead of that guy and don't have to worry about grouping with him again. A good portion of people who play MMOs like a challenge and enjoy the 'danger' of doing difficult dungeons with the risk of maybe dying in a very unfriendly place. Unfortunately nowadays with the damn invention of WoW and all the console gamers coming over these days are nearly gone. Now its the 'hand me epics' crowd that dominates the MMO market. |
