    Default Can we please get a full time Hard Core Server?

    With the Hard Core server almost half way done its season, I'm wondering if there's other people out there like me, that are bored with the zero risk environment of standard servers?

    Would it be possible for us to get a full time Hard Core server that just has the basic rules of the other servers? Between seasons, it would be nice to move our characters to a server that still has the one life mechanic, but doesn't keep the 2 level gap and the hounds?

    In other games with seasons, like Path of Exile, they have a full time Hard Core server so players can play their old characters under the same conditions, and I think there's a lot of people who would be interested in this.

    I personally came back to play on this new Hard Core server, and I'm not really interested in continuing to play this game on regular servers.

    Are there other people out there like me who want access to a full time perma-death server?

    Not unless they merge all other servers.
    Bought my first dungeon master's guide in 1992. My favourite part of ddo is coffee and slayers

    If you want that restriction all the time, then simply restrict yourself. If you need other people with the same restriction, join a perma death guild

    The seasonality is the whole point of hard core....both from the players side, having everyone start fresh from scratch at the same time...and from a business side, having all the revenue from people p2wing and buying their boosts each season, and buying unlocks they otherwise would just unlock for free

    They'll never do this because it would provide an alternate way to play DDO in an environment that encouraged that play style.

    This is like the Newbie server I have pressed for at times. It would bare the big lie in DDO, which is that people prefer the grind to the game. In fact people likely would prefer the game to the grind and that's a risk SSG is unlikely to take.

    Agreed that if they were to da a permanent Hardcore Server(which I don't believe they are likely to). They would need to allow cross server grouping or a server merge as the regular servers empty during hardcore season especially around mid season when things are in full swing over there. I've tried 3 times in the last few days to get raids going on Sarlona checking to make sure enough level 29+ levels were on to even get a group together and... crickets each time, no-one really interested at all in PUG Raids and the ones I've joined around 3 aswell also fell flat due to noone else bar myself and maybe up to 2 others at most showing.

    I've had a ticket open for weeks and SSG isn't responding. They are so evil.
