I'm sure that permadeath or something near would give a real
intensity to any mud or mmorpg.
We thought about it, but as said someone here, with a "get out of
jail free" cards. Actually since it's in a futuristic world, it
would be a matrix persona save, or something like that... Which
could be more or less expensive, to loose less or more xp&co. And of
course the saving must be done *before* death, and - why not - is
degrading with time.
So it would at least avoid the player rushing into the battle,
dying, rushing into the battle again...
But we have a great dilemna about newbies&PK. Actually in our world,
as a futuristic one, a good gun can kill in one shot most of the
people even if the gun's holder is a newbie and the victim is an
experienced person... having all it's xp in 'lockpicking' won't make
him more bullet resistant.
The point is that the killer, here, is a newbie and doesn't mind
dying, even permanently... but the victim can be very very angry
about this...
A workaround would be to make a "starting" place, where newbies
without a little quest or something can't go out... so that they now
price of death :)
But it's not really easy to do, and it won't resolve all the
problems...
