Glorious Alpha Two Testers!
We are in the Alpha Two Phase II testing which will take place 5+ days each week.
Alpha Two testing is scheduled to happen daily until January 13, 2025 at 10PM PT. We will have periods of downtime for hotfixes and daily restarts happening at 2 AM PT for NA realms, and 2 CET for EU realms.
Starting next week, Alpha Two realms are scheduled to be online for 5+ days a week from Thursdays at 10 AM PT to Mondays at 10 PM PT. Alpha Two realms are planned to be down on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and for daily restarts. Alpha Two realms will also be brought down as updates and fixes are ready.
You can download the game launcher here and we encourage you to join us on our Official Discord Server for the most up to date testing news.

HC-RP Server (The roleplayer's ultimate dilemma)

Being a guy who grew up playing traditional pen&paper D&D, I am very fond of RP. I do not mean what we have nowdays in MMO's, namely talking nonsense in a tavern, dancing naked or pretending to be drunk. It is simply not my cup of tea. What I mean is instead awesome meaningful stories where your characters risk their neck to perform heroic deeds.
What I am proposing is a RP server with permadeath. To me RP is meaningless when your toon dies and immediately respawns in a camp just around the corner. I lose that sense of immersion (and adrenaline) that makes me enjoy RP so much. On a normal server permadeath would be annoying, even gamebreaking, but in a RP environment it creates endless possibilities for cool missions and stories. Obviously, the server would be completely optional, unique, with standard RP rules of conduct and permadeath. I am in no way suggesting that permadeath should be the normal death penalty for all servers.
As a nice addition to this, I would also like to show off those achievements that have been accomplished on HC mode. Maybe a special frame on the normal achievement would do the trick. I would avoid to create extra achievements for HC mode, as players might feel forced to play on this server in order to get them. Nobody should be forced to play according to rules they do not enjoy.
Thank you for reading and I hope to get some feedback.

but interesting
Thank you so much for your feedback.
I wouldn't be worried about dividing the community. There is no mega-server on AoC. Rather we will have multiple servers, each one with its own story to tell. Developers want to create a plurality of situations and a HC-RP server would only add to that.
