CF: PermDeath servers



Hi
I ever want test/play a server with PERM_DEATH on.
I think also other high experienced players are interested, because
its a way to play the game on a special party/group centred way.

Are all spells (like Res. Dead) in the game integrated?

I like the idea, to rescue a charakter from death in the way to find his
body,
cast res. dead on him or bring him to a church and res hin there for money.

There are 2 problems with it: your body can be destroyed if you die in a
dungeon
by effect (fire, etc.) or by reset of the map or some like this.

But there is a great solution:

1.) If you find a player body in normal way, you can res him. Is a res.
spell called on a player
body, he is resed, and PERM_DEATH is deleted.

2.a) You log in after dead. Your body is vanished, cant' be accessed or is
in the house of your best enemy who curse
on him every time he log in. In short words: You can't play, you are lost.

2.b) You log in after dead. You find yourself as a zombie like undead char
in scorn. You can't make experience in this state, no stat
add and so on. But you can play (but your items stay with your body in the
dungeon). You have the problems all undead have
(fiiiire...) and until you find your body or holy gravestone, you can't go
on in game (if you die again, your lose levels in normal way!).

The solution:
If a dead char log in, in a special dungeon (i called him the underworld) a
special  holy GRAVESTONE of him is set. Now a party of players or the zombie
player can enter the underworld, find his stone, bring him to a church or
altar and res. him in this way!!

Great is, that this underworld dungeon can be have more levels. Every level
is harder. A level 1-5 player will be set in dungeon level 1.
A level 50 player will be find his stone in one of the real deep levels of
this dungeon.

I find this idea very pretty because its put the PERM_DEATH play on a higher
level and give experienced player a new playground.

Frank Tore Johansen, is it possible to install a PERM_DEATH server on the
mashine to normal crossfire server runs? Or will be
2 of them kill his performance?

Or is there a good and fast PERM_DEATH server here in europe?
