Imagine creating an MMO and getting trolled by a bunch of forum warriors who hate your game (for over ten years). :|

Don't feed the trolls and all that but: Been playing longer than you, legacy permadeath sucked. Reduction of permadeath hasn't ruined anything despite people like you doomsaying to the high heavens. If anything the game has more players than ever.

So yeah I'm going with Jenno on this one.

yeah.. I be trolling. Legacy was dope and and my countless permadeath I had never stopped me from playing. As I said I a masochist, I played Legacy worlds a lot longer then Hafens ones, mostly due to the fact that I never got far into the content before I got murdered by a ranger shooting through palisade walls. But I enjoyed it, every death was like a little "I can do better next time".

I very much enjoyed watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9gW0RxqCJY, which I guess shows that even now new players still find ways of dying.

realised this is all off topic. o/
