The game is advertised as a perma-death survival game. The game is no longer a survival game if you can be resurrected on death. The game is no longer perma-death if character death is not permanent. Worst yet is that, as it is these things, any resurrection will be seen as special treatment and thus you'll be giving unfair advantages to players in a world that many see as competitive. Hope that clears some things up.
I would put it the other way around. This game is designed as a certain kind of social simulation and permadeath is a) part of that simulation and freedom, sure, but more importantly b) a tool of punishment. If you took permadeath out people would actually suffer more and not less from those who decide to act like assholes.
Proof is the current state of the game where you can just spam Zerg armies and people do not give a damn about dying anymore.
Shame man, that's terrible. I wish you better luck in future, kudos for hanging in there.
