Even if you don’t give two craps about “Hardcore”, it’s still 90 days of dice rolls that you can move to your home server.   That’s gonna be one super fancy mule with all of those “first character per server” perks that you get to transfer.

7 instances of Korthos.
5 instances of Harbor.
Easily 1000 toons running around. 
Bartering is crazy.  Friend sold a vorpal greataxe for 50 AS.

Fantastic to hear.  (although I'm a bit dubious about the AS claim)

That's a great point, I stand corrected. Thanks!

First day was fun.  Everyone crammed into 4-5 levels for the most part.   I think highest character I saw was level 8.  Lots of deaths and laughs.   It’s fun to care what’s in every chest.    We’ll see how it holds up over time.    Right now deaths are funny and you lose a few hours effort.   In a week or two that’s gonna be really frustrating if it happens.

I forgot what it's like to be poor. I got to the marketplace and bought 8 scrolls to inscribe.  I only had enough plat for 2 inscription materials.

I dig it for the sake of getting back to low levels. I still wish there was something novel to the seasonal gameplay but it's gotten me to play something other than my main for the first time in forever so I'm into it.

I forget why, obviously some purchase I've forgotten, but I started with 5 1000 sentient xp's. If nothing else that's worth creating a character to migrate.

I kinda wish they'd keep the death notifications enabled for all levels instead of 10+ with the patch today.

No one knows because they’re all on the hardcore server and there’s no one left on the old servers to check the social panel.

Supermax Sharn pack.

Look in your inventory for a stack of BtA supreme xp pots too.

I thought it would be amusing to screen cap deaths.  Then people started dieing.  Couldn't keep up!  Saw a lvl 10 dud pass this morning.  Purportedly soloing the pit.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

I have to say It's just fantastic, really giving a boost to community spirit. I've known a couple of players who ran permadeath characters before but this is the way it should be done, bravo SSG!

Now lets see someone run a full life with a main toon using  permadeath haha.

There's a WF 20 Sorc.  Rumor is he gold rolled his way to 20.

Ah well to each his own I guess. Is that WF Sorc a normal toon  on the normal servers? that's what I was talking about.

Holy shit. I'll pick 3000 xp for the average roll. 15 shards per roll.

1,900,000/3000X15 = 9500. I think it's $100 for 2000 shards, so about $500 to get a first life to level 20.

I heard someone say they got the most unexpected financial advice from Mike Tyson, "If it appreciates, buy it, if it depreciates, rent it." I would add, if it's virtual, let Mike Tyson punch you.

I respect his willingness to spend $500ish to make a mockery out of this.

Or he just duped a bunch of shards several years ago when such a thing was possible.

Someone on the Vault posted a screenshot of the amount of shards they had and I seem to remember it be well or 1.4 MILLION of them.

If one guy has over 1.4 Million shards, I have to believe there are people with more than that.

Do shards cross servers?

Hmmm...no.

So either there's still a working dupe out there or that guy actually spent $500 to level to 20.

I didn't care one wit about Hardcore Fapserver...

Now I know you can piggy bank gold rolls and first time stuff, I may have to reconsider.

At least until SSG finds a way to take that away too.

Unrelated aside: The new Mac client is a fucking shit show.
