Okay, the whole concept is getting pretty solid now, at least where I like it. Give it a try. So far our highest mortal player is Poison, a level 55 Paladin.
The point of Survivor is not permadeath but to see how high a level you can get to without dying. To do this you become Mortal, which you can do anytime before level 11 by speaking to the Avatar of Mortality, easy to find in PoK. You'll receive a title, "Mortal" and be made eligible for special rewards (see below.) You will remain Mortal until you die or give it up voluntarily. If you die you'll be placed in Purgatory. You can exit from there and become a normal player again by speaking to the Mistress of Purgatory. Your level at time of death is recorded for our records. Once you exit you can loot your corpse and either play as normal, or pass your gear to another character through the shared bank.
Many good and services are available to help you. Some of these are available to all players, others are reserved for Mortals. Leveling is fast on Survivor.
For all players, Lisalui in the Plane of Knowledge can instantly advance you to level 10, scribe all your spells, set your skills, and give you 200 plat. This is so you can skip the tedious tutorial. Lisalui can also buff anyone, anytime with Temperance for a 4 plat donation.
Also for all players, a set of merchants sell Defiant armor for affordable (but not cheap) prices. Near them Kali can, for a price that scales by level, scribe all your spells for you. She can also, for a small donation, cast Clarivoyance on you.
For mortals only, Lisalui will offer item, cash, and title awards at the milestone levels of 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 65. The items are a class-appropriate weapon at level 15, and a charm slot item at the other levels that offers powerful stats for all classes at each level. The titles are suffixes; for level 20, "the Wary", for 30, "the Undefeated", 40, "The Courageous", 50, "The Indomitable", 60, "the Unconquerable", and 65 is "the Immortal". The current level cap is 65 but that may be raised.
The set of hot zones are West Commons, Kaesora, Warrens, East Karana, Oasis of Marr, Stonebrunt, Runnyeye, Lake Rathe, Guk, Sol B, and Tower of Frozen Shadow and these will be rotated every three months or so.
