Player death caps

vorlon31

Say after pod ride number x, you simply die. You'll then need to create a new account and your old one and their assets are auto-removed from the game and the player name locked from ever being recreated?

Tada.. death

has meaning (well, more so than forever spawns)

Injustice

Umm, no.

Karash

Er, NO?

Sephiroth

This idea is horrible.

Injustice

Hehe, horrible is a strong word, but I can pretty much guarantee that a majority of us will be 100% against the idea of permadeath.

Jump

Game killer.

vorlon31

cool, now stop being so gleeful over the prospect of a stat wipe.

Jump

Two entirely different things. No one is gleeful, just practical and accepting of the situation. Especially since it has no effect on RL.

vorlon31

Well, while your being practical and accepting, chewing the cud and discussing the ins and outs of a Jumpgate Evolution, Ill be over --> playing Jumpgate and shooting flux like I have been while you were all playing eve, uber wwII airplane Mk II, plantside and star whizz galaxies.

Jump

And of course, it's not a crime to play any of those games.

Eraser55

this has been done in Face of Mankind. They can buy number of "clones" so when you die, you use up one clone.. if you run out of clones you permadie.. But You could buy "clone insurance" So you don't have to buy clones.. but you will be charged a sum of credits every "month". You can permadie if u run out of credits...

Why does Death need meaning in Jumpgate?

Sephiroth

lol this is entirely different than resetting the stats when you are begin playing what is essentially a brand new game.
