Default Permadeath server?

This is more for curiosity sake. It could be done by giving corpses a despawn time of like 5 seconds, and the exp per death could be so absurdly high that you'd go down to level 1 when you die.

Do you think people would play this server and what do you think the best approach to eq would be if you could never die, or lose the game? I was thinking someone could just do crushbone belts to level 60 if they really wanted to. Do you think if enough people hit 60 they would raid or would the risk be too high?

Its an idea for EQemu, I'd give it a try but it would have to be well populated (as with most servers) to really succeed.

What im most curious about is HOW people would play this server? If you grouped with someone, there's the risk of dying and then that's it. So do you solo or only group with people you trust? What areas would you go to?

It'd probably have to be a very, very custom server. If you took p99, for example, and just added in that you delevel to 1 and your corpse immediately rots anytime you die, it'd be too harsh for anything to ever really get accomplished.

Might be best when coupled with a no-level-limit FFA PvP server.

I would play a class that has #1 survivability and #2 Soloability
Soloing i wouldn't be too worried maybe just a little more cautious
Grouping I would try to go to low pop zones to avoid trains/badpathing/mobs warping (from other groups) I would probably not join a group unless I knew at least 1 person well enough already in the group to vouch for them.
Raiding would be a ridiculous zergfest to avoid death but any encounter with a DT cycle is basically impossible since no one is going to want to eat it.

Oh man, I remember back in the day how mad I'd get dying, and that was even with only 10% loss and the possibility of a rez (don't sweat it as much now). I couldn't imagine playing EQ with this sort of rule set though.

Necromancer. Hit level 16. Don't rely upon others for anything. Never die.

No. One power surge or internet drop and you have to restart. No fun.
