I'll admit to being curious, I like MMOs, but I don't know if I could play this game without tearing my hair out.

my option isnt up there. but i have no interest in it. not because its too cutesy or anything nor because i dont like MMOS (cause i do) but simply just because i have no interest lol.

 

that said, permadeath would absolutely turn me off

Well, the final nail in the coffin for me is the awkward controls. the controls are wasd or both mouse buttons I've read, and the camera doesn't follow, you have to use the arrow keys. this would drive me insane: I'm not used to the camera not turning with my character.

yea same here. even on old console games, where you cant control the camera, is weird for me lol

 

but honestly it would be the whole open world PvP/Permadeath thing that would shut me down. the same reason i never got into DayZ. i dont like PvP, so the fact i could lose everything to someone who can just come up and kill me, turns me way off. soo off im in the negatives!

LOL same. If I want that I can play single player and erase my saves when my character dies. It's why I never played Ultima Online. I don't like the idea of roving bands of gankers out to kill my toon and rob my gear, though at least there wasn't permadeath.

For me it was the fact that the game looked too 2004ish... combined with everything else. I could accept permadeath and pvp, but only if the game actually looks fun to play. This didn't. The attacks seemed too isolated (slashing through things with just a flashy effect to show that a hit happened) and wouldn't be surprised if they were using an old school "walk up to enemy, turn on auto-attack, wait, loot" sort of combat system. Nevermind the part where the community usually goes to utter crap as soon as it starts on Steam.
