Mulder is a grumpy man and probably means that saying the game is permadeath is false advertising because of the way KOing works now

That was my interpretation as well, with a side of "faction PvP dead, in part because you can't actually kill your enemies."

This only leaves sprucecap slaughter as the only "endgame PvP activity" - there's an extreme irony in all the sprucecap safety measures, like KO protection, mostly just make factionboi combat non-lethal. Meanwhile noobs still die because they don't know the ins-and-outs of the system. One example is an attempt to swim across the river when a player chases you, not realizing that his massive war axe is maybe only 50% lethal, while the river is 100% lethal if he simply KOs you in the deep water.

What do you mean how? Your game doesn't have these things, namely open pvp and permadeath. Unless by open pvp you mean open pvp in dedicated zones only in which case every MMO has that. Permadeath. Weren't your players killing their own characters as a shortcut to get stats, am I making this up? Permadeath means when you die you lose progress not gain, like what abusing prayer for strength allowed, 125% was it? Have you done something about it? Probably not. What else, sieges are impossible so cross that out too.
Actually, forget all of the above, none of it matters when the combat system is ass. You just have to swallow your pride sometimes and admit that you suck at coming up with original ideas. You combat doesn't have to be original, just copy what works from other games can you? Like any generic hack and slash combat would be better by a mile. For a player looking for pvp (let alone open pvp with consequences) this game is a waste of time, has been for years.

First, hunger-resets was fixed.
Second, you have no idea what are you talking about, so shut the fuck up, thank you.

Unfortunately I do know what I'm talking about having dumped thousands of hours into this stupid game. They fixed what? Did they fix eniherjerhjer whatever it's called? No? So death is still beneficial then and my point stands. And I haven't even mentioned KO protection which made actually dying in combat rarer than blizzards in Africa or say a guy with an anime style avatar who's not a pedo.

Really? Can someone confirm? I'm almost certain they reverted the nerf that I lobbied but I can't find it now. My bad I guess. Doesn't change much in the big picture however. This game does not effectively have open pvp, permadeath and sieges.
