A chance to die

Post by Hew Keenaxe »

While I am now playing a for the most part, non-combat character, I still think there should be a chance that Cherga rejects you. My new character has been sent to her once, mainly because my internet slowed on me, but still I had NO worries. I will come back, pay a fee, and continue. It shouldnt be this way. Maybe there is a 1 in 10 chance I wont. A warning to the power gamers, a real threat to us all, you might NOT survive this. Just 1 in 10, just a chance, but think before you act.

If you really want, I can implement permadeath for your character :twisted:.

Now that the snarky developer has put in his reply, can this be taken seriously? Death should mean something, even if it is just a chance.

We already have a topic on death consequences http://illarion.org/community/forums/vi ... 94&t=39570

Add your ideas there, please. Note that permanent death against the consent of the players is very unlikely to be ever realized.

This is a good read, I am still in the camp of there should be some percent of chance you might really die.

This would make the game to a fight-only game. Why would you skill any crafts, when you have a lag or somebody killing you for fun, your char is permadeath. Imagine you would invest two years into your char and then BAAAM, you are in the wilderness and your internet crashes and you die because of that. This would be a reason for me to insta stop playing this game to be honest.
