Comes with a leader board with the top 100 accounts and certain reaper XP goals give account bound items/ privileges.

So...has anyone ever really asked for this?  Like ever?  I know there's a handful of permadeath guilds but outside of those I'd think the demand was non-existent.

On the other hand it might be a good play ground for the meta.

On the other, other hand, do dwindling server populations really need competition?

The server is going to be trash. It will get played for cosmetics and no one will give a shit about the leaderboard because it's a fucking farce. They will not be disabling the store, so you can bypass the competition with rolls, potions, and tomes.

The reason POE leagues work is because no one can buy anything. And rare loot that only drops in leagues. DDO seasons will just be cash grabs off of bad whales. so excite much good

I died at level seven permatripped by wolves in tangleroot about 11 years ago playing permadeath and wanted to throw my computer out of the window. This server will have 4 accounts, not 100.

Cool. I was playing the other day on Cannith and was like "Man, this place is just way too crowded."

So........any other games with a F2P trial period any good?

Did permadeath once to cap 16. I don’t know if this will be my cup of tea or not, but I can see people trolling and getting others killed and porting out

It's all fun and games until you die because you are hitching on a ladder still in 2019.

P2W for cosmetics is beyond jumping the shark.  Forum paladins will have a field day with this so grab your popcorn.

The leaderboard will be dominated by whales playing ranged toons: Inquisitive trappers and Sorcerers.

On the upside, the game might see new player experience improvements coinciding with Keep on the Borderlands once people realize how shitty it is to start with nothing.

Grease and fireball.  If they made the dungeons pvp like, then we'd have a game.

I'm interested because I'd like to see how the "top 1%" fare on a permadeath server with no twink gear, etc.

I'll come check it out a little, but that won't be my main server ever.  VERY much hoping this is just cosmetics and that they don't have game-effect bonuses tied to this server. Since it's Turbine, I'm positive that there will be, though.

I believe he said the leader board is for Reaper points. I don't see how permadeath lends it self to Reaper play.

It's as low effort as you get and has a maximum revenue upside.  The only new assets are the rewards.  The backend work to disable resurrection is minimal -- it'll be done at the "You have died" screen (no need to strip rez spells or rez shrines from the game).  The leaderboard is the most developer intensive/time consuming part of this effort.

instead of a permadeath server, can't they make a classic server with CAP to 20 ? ( up to LOB then and everything after getting trashed ).

This idea is gay, retarded, and French.  Possibly even worse, I just haven't figured out what's worse than French.

I'm loving this idea. I'll actually be playing again. Then again. If they sell boxes or xp potions on this server it would be fucking dumb.

Only problem is this would be dumb on their end financially.

This server is clearly a means to tap the whales for even more money. Look at all of the -exclusive- BtA rewards and cosmetic traps.

All it's missing is a digital waifu companion and the bait would be set for most of the greasy manchildren that keep the lights on.

Whales don't go crazy for cosmetics, so this logic seems flawed.

I don't see the draw, might pull people back who don't like current game i.e. floppy bunny

Having lived in both north and south, I find the north to be the more objectionable.  I hear nigger and such a lot more when I go north than I've ever heard down south.
