But, first, I'm going to be stocking a chest full of life crystals before I start.I wouldn't do hardcore, myself. Dying rarely isn't the same thing as dying never, and I would rapidly get annoyed at having to replace my armor and equipment repeatedly.
If the stuff dropped on the ground where you died, it'd be like UO was originally where you'd have to go retrieve your belongings, except for your character being deleted along with all their money, their piggy bank contents, etc, but... yeah. Still wouldn't do it. I never find that kind of thing fun. Probably what turned me off of it the most was Nethack, which might as well be subtitled "You Must Be Paul Atreides In Order To Win This Game".
Same here. If there's no way to get back up whatsoever (no amulet of life saving or stuff) and you get griefed by your multiplayer friend, then you're effed.
I don't want to die losing all my progress. What's the incentive for playing hardcore mode anyway? If they increased the drop rates for rare items, then it might be something worth doing, otherwise it will just waste your time.
Collecting life crystals is a pain. Moreso if you use them all and you subsequently die.
