@Teppotastic You are right in the fact that I don’t have the numbers and never claimed to. Simply because I don’t have access to Turbine’s data so I am making an educated guess. What made me mad and caused me to rant was the fact that you were putting words and false statements and twisting around what I said.
@Xilo I thought you were permadeath buddy. Remember you sold your soul stone to the DDO Spirit! LMAO. I agree that there is a larger permadeath community then most people realize.
@Porkchop It’s hard for the Yak to be settled.
@JakLee Not the attack dogs. LMAO

Ok.. I do have a wide amount of people within my “Bubble” and thats across about 3 servers that i’m well known on (good or bad) and i’d say 30% is a good number that would go to a hardcore server for many reasons i’ve been playing THIS game since beta and it’s changed a whole heck of alot for the better none the less there is a rather large player base for permadeath it’s not my style but for RPers and Perma it’s a server they can play off if you die on a hardcore server for a RPer you died in battle you can play off it

All in all, it’s more coverage for your podcast
. Can’t believe you actually replied to that, but whatever.
Bottom line: I did enjoy that podcast. You do make statements, but I don’t care even if I don’t agree with all that you say. Sometimes, you really make your points which I find agreeable. Thus said, you won’t get rid of my comments here, I like your cast -
Wow I will say this I read the blog, I think people are bound to take sides on this save me because I think both sides had an equal viewpoint. I know that Samius made a point about people assuming things about Turbine. But Yak has his point that there is a percentage of people who would enjoy a hardcore server.
Its as I said before putting forth ideas for the game is like setting up a business proposal. You have to make it as appealing to the hire ups as possible. Not just the devs if they really get any say at all. Its the people who crunch the numbers and call the shots you have to impress with your idea. If there are enough threads about hardcore with enough positive and legitimate feedback of why one is needed, how It can tie into revenue streams and who would be the target audience for it since ddo spans from age pre-teen to seniors (seriously I know 60+ year olds who do play and enjoy the game).
When you’ve got all that believe me not even random bloggers or Samius can argue you down. And yes it seems like work when you put it my way but when your fired up enough and Yak I know you can get that way
hehe then theres no telling what you can convince people of. You know how I feel about haters or percieved haters as long as your enjoying yourself and having fun “F” everyone else
look forward to the next cast. -

Firstly, I had completely missed the fact that the register button was off the site. It wasn’t my intention my prevent feedback. So apologies straight up for that.
And you’re right – it made a great podcast. I don’t dispute that. I also never said you weren’t a programmer or had no experience programming. I acknowledged you did – just not on this product. Which makes the world of difference when it is something so complex.
My problem is mainly that you’re making big statements involving statistics based only on your bubble of friends and players. It’s not statistically representative of the entire population
I didn’t make any comment on if there would be a good market for it or not. Do you know why? I simply have no data to say either way. There almost certainly IS a market for hardcore servers but what size and whether it’s cost-effective remains to be seen 
I could probably apologize for the lopsided content of the blogpost except that I couldn’t find anything to get behind you on. Though it was a gentlemanly end to the debate.
Oh and the “trounce” thing was an exaggeration for dramatic effect. You should know all about that
