DDO Permadeath Guilds:
The Sublime Permadeath Guild - Thelanis server. DDO's oldest permadeath guild, formed when the game launched.
Extreme Explorers - Sarlona server. A more roleplay oriented permadeath guild.
Mortal Voyage Permadeath Guild - Arggonessen server. Permadeath guild that tries to give more of a PnP feel to DDO.
Permadeath in DDO usually means that when a character dies he can be raised by a raise dead scroll/spell, otherwise the player deletes the character. Each guild has its own rules but they are usually pretty similar. I know several normal guilds also have their own permadeath groups within the guild.
In my experience, playing DDO in a permadeath guild is like a completely different game. It adds that adrenaline rush that I normally only get playing DOOM 3 at 2am with all the lights out. There is a rumor that there is a support group for high-level alts of players that have discovered permadeath, I haven't checked in with mine in several months so I can't verify it

yeah I took the plunge and re-upped my DDO
and immediately found that the game's ABSOLUTE lack of game balance kills the fun for me.
To me it was more about "cheating" by mailing gear from characters that don't know each other to make missions easier - and the LAUGH OUT LOUD -" IntraVeneous Healing Potion Drip " - by which players replace challenge with extra resources.
I had a guild that was no spoilers/no twinks; then added Rez-Out; Stay Out - many player's lack of interest in playing a game that wouldn't bend over to lose to them meant that group was never a large one.
argonesson - say hi if you see me!
Sounds like you'd fit right in with Mortal Voyage

My guild on Thelanis just made a no-twink group too. I'd join but I don't have any level capped characters anyway, so I'm no-twink by default
Well---
" No-twinks " :
So far as i use the term; DDO in its attempt to make a viable online econmy in a game with no crafting;
made the loot drops farbelow the quest levels
as a result people tend to "little brother" mail all their equipment to their lower-level alternate characters; since most of what you find in your level 4 or 5 quests will be usuable by your level2...
Doing this is what I at least refer to as twinking...
I mean; all jokes aside when a level 2 or 3 character whips out a +1 flame/shock sword or whatever; the game balance completely changes.
also; its always far easier to but a weapon off the Ah than to actually find it - prices and economy are odd when magicitems are an infinite commodity...
