I think that what I get from all these recent replies is that the administrative style of a particular roleplay game is really more important than whether it is perma-death or not. The arguments for having one or the other or even having both all make sense as long as they are enforced by the history of the world, consistant administration, and storyline. There are players who are excellent roleplayers who prefer permadeath, and I know a ton of players who are equally excellent roleplayers who do not like permadeath. Then there are people who really have no preference as long as excellent roleplay opportunities exist.

Luckily, there's some pretty awesome games for all those players.
