Permadeath

Permadeath is so cool because it adds extra value to a bunch of things. Do you stay content with the +3 strength armor you picked up, or do you risk entering harder dungeons for better armor so that you KNOW you can beat the next boss? Games like RotMG, Minecraft and Torchlight have always got me on that aspect. For example, I was playing Minecraft and stumbled upon a huge crevasse filled with all sorts of gems. I spent the next week carefully mining everything out, creating safety nets out of water and so forth. I had almost finished mining the thing when I stumbled into a room filled with lava. On the other side was a small cache of diamond. It was my lucky day! I start hastily building a bridge to mine it, forgetting to put up the normal safety constraints I usually add. I'm sure you can guess what happened next. I was so disheartened that all that time spent carefully navigating the world had gone to waste that I decided to quit playing Minecraft, resolving that if I ever did pick it up, I would play on the normal modes. It wasn't even a week before I attempted my next hardcore mode.
I wish more games would add it (especially games like Fallout). I also wish that games like Minecraft would add it to the multiplayer. Imagine setting up a Minecraft server with a bunch of friends and playing hardcore mode. It'd be kinda like lord of the flies or the hunger games or whatever.
