> It would be trivial to recreate the EVE experience in literally any MMO by just having permadeath… Am I missing something? Yes, a few things. Claiming territory and political hierarchy are other missing elements from essentially all other MMO’s. You can claim ownership of territory in Eve. You can then set up an alliance or parent/child relationships between guilds, such that a territory is owned by a group of cooperating guilds. This political hieraechy/network controls who shows up as “red” or attackable. Also you’d need to add full looting of gear on people you defeat, as well as harvesting of their bodies for salvage. Another aspect missing from other mmo’s is transport logistics. Also the fact that literally every ship, weapon, and piece of ammo is created by players and transported by players with buy and sell orders in a maketplace. In short, it’s radically and fully different from any other MMO.
