MMORPGDot Feature: Ekim's Gamer View: Die Another Way
   

<P>Ekim takes a stand on Perma-death in online games. Is it a good thing or not.</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><I>Death is a huge part of role-playing. Like it or not, a player is supposed to want to avoid death at all costs. At least that’s how it should be. In the spirit of true role-play, death is the bane of any character. Imagine if you could never die when you played a pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons game? A dungeon master wouldn’t be able to keep his players under control, so he has to always hang the threat of death over their heads so that they take care of how they go about solving any problem. Up to this day, most computer games have failed at doing that, because you could always save and restore, or respawn at an earlier point. </I></BLOCKQUOTE>
