Hehe its not brokeback mountain Banana :) the name of this game is Frontier 1859.. but I agree, the movie sucked. I think the main reason why it got good critics was cos it was about homosexual cowboys (but then again, some people might enjoy watching it)

Isn't that what they claimed SWG would have back at conception? Before they binned all the good ideas and made it dross.

I actually think it sounds pretty interesting & perma death would certainly make you think twice about flying into combat. I wonder if they're going to implement looting too.
Those that can't lead follow.

Those that can lead should admit when they're lost.

Permanent death is greifers paradise, just run round killing everyone for the sake of it, who cares if you get killed? just reroll and do it again I'm sure it wont take that long to aquire a gun to kill someone? kill people who have spent ages developing their character.

In other words, really bad ideas imo :p
