Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that you've both said you'll be implimenting this first and last. "Things like life potions" will come before this, but you won't be putting it up last - and of course the testing of bosses comes before it - so essentially it IS the last thing you do. Everything else is tested and running perfectly first. That was actually my point in its entirety.
If you really think you can do it, go for it and best of luck. But you're wrong. I was on the fence before, but judging by your responses here alone I can tell you haven't thought it out nearly as completely as you think you have. It'll be disasterous and I'm against it, personally.

But you seem to be missing my point. It's not being implemented first, or last. You don't seem to want to think outside the box. As much as I hate using that expression, it's true. I don't have to make the death system first, nor do I have to make it last. Nor do I have to finalize anything. You act as if I'm going to make this death system, and then NEVER change it. You're wrong. Just because it would be added, doesn't mean it can't be modified while I make progress on Oasis.
Judging by my responses? What, because I don't agree with your opinions, I'm automatically wrong? You don't think it can be done? Fine. You're entitled to think that. But in the same turn, I can think that you're jumping the gun, and basing your opinion on merely what you've seen done before.
You aren't the final authority on mmorpg development. It's not like you've written books, and even if you have, you can't possibly have the correct answer for everything. MMORPGS are still in early childhood. They have a long way to develop, and for you to be talking as if you've done this all before, is pure nonsense. Maybe it doesn't play out in your mind, maybe you've had bad experiences in the past with harsh death punishment systems. But that doesn't mean it couldn't work. I personally am not going to throw away a good idea, simply to stay safe and follow along with every other run of the mill mmorpg that has been made. Someone has to break the mold eventually.
