And yes, especially 'special' mobs coming back is a bit of a stretch. But then the players coming back is a stretch too, no? (yes, I know, many have implemented some form of permadeath).

If you are doing your job right designing a game, the newbie experience should be almost good enough that people don't care about permadeath any more then they would picking up a new novel.

I don't consider permadeath a reasonable solution for most virtual worlds.

Permadeath is simply a way to encourage the playing of more than one game so they can try everything.
