Wizardry Online, permadeath in MMOs
Hmm, seems like some of these problems could potentially crop up in a potential PoE permanent HC cutthroat league too. Hopefully GGG applies their usual ingenuity to address these problems if they intend on implementing permanent HC cutthroat at some point.

I love the idea of permadeath in mmorpgs, it adds that extra spice to the "rpg" part. And in fact I find Wizardry online interesting. From what I've seen in videos the mechanics could be a bit more polished anything else looks fine.

Anarhopunk: That's the thing though, perma death isn't really a rpg element. How many rpgs do you really perma die in? Exactly, next to none. Because the majority can't stand it.

It's really not that great at all. Relies too much on prior knowledge, hilariously cut-throat, and probably needs a lot more balancing than it has right now. Frankly, I wouldn't really play it as it is now even if you didn't have Permadeath for everybody.

No. Just no. Permadeath is enough of a challenge when playing only against a - mostly - fair AI, but when it comes to trolls, griefers and the like, it can make hundreds of hours of work go up in smoke. For some 13-year old idiots, it's a good laugh for five minutes, but for the one who took days of playing to get the killed character where (s)he is... well, not so much. Star Wars Galaxies once introduced permadeath for jedi - the result? The average Jedi lifespan hovered around Obama's at a Ku Klux Klan meeting, so they had to take it out. Also, we haven't touched the issue of lag, or a internet provider outage yet.
