That thing is the most retarded game design approach I've ever experienced in my life.Phasing is the next stage for those mmos because it isthe only way you can show one player some progression without changing the ride for all playerswho come after. WoW uses it because quest progression is carefully mapped out and calculated when they create a zone and letting players actually affect the world is anathema to that type of carefully calculated player experience.
EQN by every indication is not going to be that game because in a sandbox you let the players have impact on the world. Phasing could be used in a sandbox but not as a massive central pillar of the game.
Holy mother of god... Please let there be a "Hardcore" server with permadeath! #Hypetrain
Has nothing to do with that. I wouldn't care if open world pvp didn't even exist on the server. The problem with "Self policing" permadeath is that not everyone follows the rules. If its coded into the game on a specific hardcore server then EVERYONE is FORCED to play by those rules. That's what makes it fun. If you do the self police method of deleting a char when you die and you're having a contest with your friends to see who gets the furthest without dying. What prevents them from dying when you're not around and just lying and saying it never happened?Every game has permadeath. It's the delete button.
Real roleplayers delete their characters if they die.
You just wanna grief somebody. I feel you bro. And yeah, no one is gonna let you do that ever again except for maybe EVE. Cause those guys are trueblood vikings.

Yeah, would be my guess. It's been done before but usually as a gimmick.RogueLegacyCraftNext.
They had a hardcore FFA PvP contest server that lasted about a month, the highest level characters at the end got transferred to whatever server they liked and got a title "The Executioner"Didn't EQ do a hardcore progression server a while back? Or something similar.
That'd be awesome.Yeah he's either trolling, or it'll be a RL type setup where you "die" but your "son" or "daughter" takes over. And it won't happen every time you "die".
