Ever since playing Path of Exile I have become obsessed with permanent death games. I found that no other experience in gaming can compare to narrowly escaping a permanent character death. When everything you've worked for is on the line it just feels more real. I yearn for such a game in the MMO genre and I think FFXI would be a great platform for it.
Questions for discussion:
1. Would you play on such a server?
2. Do you think anyone would make it to the level cap?
3. How far do you think people could make it?
4. What would be different about the economy and AH prices?
5. How would player behavior change?
Let me know what you think, I'm interested.
We're already playing that game IRL. And so we've resorted to virtual worlds to act out our sense of adventure; our fear of the real world ramifications like losing a fight to a bear or being rear ended by a 1998 white Mitsubishi. Would still be a fun social experiment, though!
