tech implementation is easy, but psychological one...
when you playing 20 min Deathmatch in FPS, permadeath means you out of the game till the game ends and new one starts.
When are you lev 75 with uber raid gear who died zillion times, and you suddenly rolled a bad number... You will smash the keyboard over your monitor and freaken NEVER play ever again.
On hard core Diablo 2 only those people played who were- ultra good with the game, and were extremely bored with it. And speed and easiness of D2 is nowhere near EQ.
