A lot of people seem to have the expectation of permanent death being a part of this game. I wouldn't count on that: Simple fact of the matter is that MMOs these days are extremely light on death penalties -- people didn't like being smacked around the way they were when they died in EVERQUEST, they're not going to like it in a WoD MMO...

 

And while I agree that there is a certain level of "horror" that must be maintained, permanent death and extensive loss of progression is more likely to drive people off than it is to gain memberships. EVE does have some harsh penalties for death, but it also has a way to back your character up so you don't lose all your stuff completely.
