I quite like permanent death myself and began work on a tbaMUD based game on which I had permdeath implemented and max level was 18 (whole mud was more or less D&D based). I never ended up getting it off the ground and most people that saw it were pretty adamant in telling me they believed it'd never attract players due to it being permdeath. I'm not sure if I necessarily agree with that though. I believe fewer players like permdeath than dislike it, but since there are fewer permdeath muds and it is such a niche category it'd seem that such games would have somewhat of an installed playerbase.
