I couldn't help read that like I was reading it from The Onion site. I mean they seem to be taking everything people like about the direction MMO's have taken over the years and do the complete opposite. This can't be real.

I'll give it a whirl. To be fair though, I like hardcore (permadeath) in RPGs.

First april? -No. Holy sh1t! I seriously wish this game reach release. Just to see how that bold experiment pans out . Albeit I somehow have a feeling that it wont even reach beta stages :( With permadeath and open PK they would really have to go great length that griefing wont become main meta-game- people like killing and hunting for sport. Thats why pk is so popular.

I feel odd regarding this. I love the idea of trying an mmo made for the express purpose of permadeath. I also love PvP. The idea of combining those two things though makes me shudder a bit. I can only see it as an invitation for griefers to do nothing but roll up newbs in large groups and try to PK high level characters.

It has the Wizardry tag, so I'll have to try it. My nostalgia needs to be crushed.

Is this the same group that announced the FFA-PVP-Permadeth game a while back, or a different one?

Groups of up to 100. PK with impunity in dungeons. Permadeath. I see this going really far.  |

All you need now is friendly fire *edit* P.s. gog.com needs the old Wizardry games. I would love to replay them. |

The thing I have noticed over the years, and having worked on an arguably "hardcore" game for over 2 now. The entire "hardcore" thinking is pure forum/Rose colored nostalgia talk.
In practice, no one really wants it, and will do everything in their power to circumvent it. ( And when I refer to "hardcore" I mean the extremist utopian version, not to be confused with a challenging game )

Duh? To expand: It's been noted severl times in the past that if everyone who talked about the, "Good ol' days of Open PVP/ PK in UO" had actually had a sub, UO would never have introduced Trammel because it would have alienated 2x their actual playerbase. |

I had a sub then and did feel it was fun (in its own way,) but there wasn't really anything else out there for me at that time. By the time EQ came around, I had bypassed all my NEWB issues and dealt with the harsh virtual world in UO. Then my paradigm was set, so when Trammel came I thought, "Hey, might as well try EQ now...everyone left anyway." If I started playing a game like UO was back at launch now, I'd drop it like a bad habit. If this is truly F2P, I'd give it a shot. First time I perma-die and think, "I don't really want to go through all that again to get where I was..." I'm out. |

SOE This might just give the Elder Scrolls MMO a run for it's money. |

Lol. Perma-death and PKing? This game is going to fail and fail hard. This will be like early UO but with more ragequit.

Well, if they keep personal progression to utility based items ( AKA, not just ever increasing number ALA Wow ) and keep it relatively shallow as far as time invested and power increases. It wont be so bad. A lot like "Relm of the mad god" like model.

I pulled it down. I really shouldn't have. Usually I can eke some enjoyment out of damn near anything, and I couldn't even be bothered to get through the tutorial. It's set some new standards for terrible.

I fought one monster and promptly uninstalled. That's how hardcore the game won.

So, what's the deal? Is it an actual open world, where I can have my Secret Rebel Base in some far-off corner and sneak around, or is it basically a series of instanced action RPG dungeons linked together by a lobby? Can't tell from the trailer.
