Poll - How do you feel about hard mode?

Several/many players have asked for more challenge.

We are considering changing the Magna and Vildare worlds to hard mode. (For how that feels, go to the mining world - which is hard mode.)

If we do this, we'd give a week's notice so that players could redesign their homes to handle the fact that zombies could break doors. (Not because it would take that long, but because not everyone plays constantly.)

We do not plan to change Horizons to hard mode, mostly because we have too many inactive players with builds on that world.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the poll, I too have voted for the hardmode, but have you looked into the options of removing the door breaking aspect as I can see this being very frustrating for builders?

Hall, yes, we did find a setting to prevent the zombies breaking doors. And that's something we're considering.

Maybe I just speak for myself, but I kind of feel like the lack of difficulty doesn't really stem from the *game* difficulty. I think the problem is more that all players who remain on the server are basically game experts, geared to the teeth, and only gathering resources for aesthetic purposes, not survival. I'm not stringently opposed to this change, but I just don't know if it would address the underlying problem.
