    In mine opinion it depends of the actual game, it really needs to be thought trough really good if they want everything to run out fine :)

    What do you think?

    I often really like te idea, prevents newbies from being overpowered by hardcore gamers. But i choose the third option because it is soooo damn frustrating when you lose all your progress!

    I voted maybe. Perma death would be cool if there were no way for cheap deaths.

    I'm not really a fan. It's really awful when all that hard work goes down the drain.

    I voted for maybe.. I think that it depends on what game it is and game modes.

    Perma-death should be a feature reserved for a subscription-only server separate from the primary servers of a game. Only hardcore gamers would be able to fully appreciate such a feature, so I think they should be the only ones who are allowed to enjoy it.

    No way. Leaving a game forever over dying would suck.

    I think perma-death is a niche feature that's nice to have as long as it's optional.

    It honestly depends how it is implemented.

    A massive MMORPG such as WoW or RS? No ridiculous.

    Some people have proposed stat resets for rs upon death as well. That is too much. Saying RS has about 50k-75k hours of gameplay to FULLY max out.

    A game should have perma death only if players want that feature.

    Definitely! Although I will say that you need to make sure that the player's character can't die due to the player losing his internet connection.

    No way. There are too many variable such as lag that can cost you for nothing.

    Realm of the mad gods does permadeath right. The more time you have to put into getting a character up to a level where it is fun the less I actually want a permadeath system. With RotMG you can get from lvl 1 to max in an hour if you understand the game yet you can also die at any point during that time and have to start over. It's simplicity in leveling is what makes RotMG an acceptable if not enjoyable permadeath system.

    Origins of Malu is a new sci-fi MMO, powered by BigWorld Indie, that features perma-death.

    Perma-Death can very annoying or very fun. Thought, i don't think i've seen a game that has this system quite down yet.

    Depends how you do it..if you do it like in Realm of the mad god it can very good. In realm of the mad god when you die thats pretty much when you unlock the next class and / or gain fame & such
