Oh, look another Classic RPG franchize turned into MMO... God forbid someone make Wizardry IX or Might and Magic X. Oh well, at least we got Fallout still... for now... Main MMO at the moment: Guild Wars 2 |

I dont mind it if there is no long term progression and gear didnt matter. I actually like perma-death in a DayZ context but i na typical progression based MMO "HELL NO". Perma Death is stupid. |

Originally posted by Zylaxx IMO the trade-off in this one is great.
its the old good risk-and-reward - you want to use some better items you found instead of leaving them in warehouse? Be prepared to lose them on death. Of course you can put them into your stash and they will be safe for your next character, but you most likely will be weaker.
I like it, it adds tangibility to death. death is no longer something that is "meh oh well". Death is something you fear. and it adds upon the game's atmosphere as with the prospect that you might TRULY die, the tension in dungeons increases and the monsters seem a whole lot more threatening.
its no longer a min-maxing of economics-obsessed guy. Its now about survival :) # A GRIM, ODD, ARCANE SKY |

Let me guess, male only dwarves and female only school girls(pixies) in revealing dresses with sexy / cutesy voice overs.....shudders. On top of that monstrosity is the typical anime style despite the series never having one iota of anime in it. Where are the specialized classes like the Bishop, Alchemist, Samurai, Ninja, Psionicist and Lord. Where are the fun races like the Dracon, Felpurr, Rawulf, Mook and real Faeries(not those wingless La La freaks)? This game doesn't seem to truly reflect the series at all other than its title and it surely wasn't about perma death either.

That's how it was in the original, folks. If your character died you only had so many chances to rez him. Good times playing this on my Apple II+ (and now I've just dated myself). Still remember seeing that dreaded "oops!" if the first attempt at a rez failed. If you lucked out on the second try, you'd get "Excelsior" on your screen. Blow the 2nd attempt and...dun Dun DUN!

Perma-death will kill this game in the west. You just can't do that with the state of the internet as it sits today. Just playing today, died twice because of internet laspes Silly idea from ignorant developers. Anime and gender locking does not help this game either. Probably do ok in the east though. |

Lost me at anime. As a member of the mid 40's crowd, I played alll of the Wizardy series - anticipating the next release just as we savor the upcoming GW2 release. It's amazing how I've been doing this for over 20 years. My favorite Wizardry release was, "Bane of the Cosmic Forge" and I can assure you that anime was NO part of it! Yuck and buh-bye. If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand. |
