Hardcore mode

Would anyone be interested in hardcore mode? Death = delete, maybe when you hit max level you gain a title/cosmetic or something and your character becomes immortal again? Could be fun!

This type of gamemode just doesn't really feel suited to an MMO, games that have permadeath are generally set up so that a skilled player can avoid damage entirely. MMOs aren't set up this way. It would be difficult to have content balanced like this, and it wouldn't really be fun to do either. If you really want to do it your best bet is to just do it of your own accord.

But you cant get much more immersive jaja the bond to your character whilst leveling is super strong

No.

However, players can certainly RP a "dead is dead" character at any time.

It will happen but it doesn't need an actual game mode.

The only hardcore mode AoC has is losing your node, player housing and ships, which is quite a lot

Although the game isn't design for this kind of gameplay, nothing prevent players do treat it as such. If you die and no one is around to resurrect your character, you can always decide to delete it and start over. What makes it a difficult sell is probably the meta social aspect of gaming. Simply trying to get understood by your guild or friends... or convince anyone why they should "invest" time with your character if you're going to throw it away at its first death. Probably better to roll on another server and ghost everyone. Or haunt them roleplaying as the ghost of your character.

edit: Could be an interesting concept for an alt, but I doubt it would be appropriate for a main. And to be ethical about it, everyone should know about this before important loot and other limited gear is given to the character. Perfectly ok for a solo only character.

It's not common on a pvp server. It's more common on a pve server.

How about just a title that you can keep until you die: Deathless. Using it will be like wearing a giant "Kick Me" sign

PvP deaths dont usualy count as deaths in games with hardcore mode's only PvE death strips the status of not dieing basicaly

I play games to have fun. Having the fear that all my work will just get deleted, doesn't sound fun. What if a some lag or crash causes you to die!
