Easily summed up as, dont play on a perma death server.
I host a permadeath (Currently bugged) and most of you dont actually realize the power that permadeath has. So, from someone who runs a permadeath server, I shall enlighten you.
1) There is ZERO greifers, trolls, assholes, or basically anyone that isnt into RP, the reason for this, the players will not put up with it (I do not ban on my server, I dont have to, the players are the law). If someone griefs on my server, its upto the players themselves to institute a system of law. With permadeath, you either have to abide by their rules, or be cast to the depths of hell.
2) Skills are set at a low rate (x1) to ensure that players take the time to skill up. There is no GMing all skills on my server, cuz its such a low rate, griefers, trolls, etc, just dont waste the time.
3) It makes you consider VERY carefully about who you attack, why you attack them, and if you will actually kill them or just rob. Immersion in this game is huge.
So, as you see, when you have permadeath enabled, yes, it makes people worried, its not for everyone, however, I feel that the ability for the PLAYERS to be able to control trolls and greifers, far outweighs the negative. Not to mention permadeath seriously gears ppl to group up, and not play solo.
Hope this info about a truly hardcore server and its functions help. As I said, permadeath isnt for everyone. Certainly not for trolls.
It takes many nails to make a crib, yet just one screw can fill it.
