I feel like the normal server will prevail in the long run.
Losing everything you worked for - just because you get outnumbered for example - is quite sad.
If there were some other punishments for death (maybe X-hours deathtime and loss of all items) it would be acceptable.
Well, I will play on the normal server, I want to maximize my character growth 
There will only be one kind of server and it will be a mix of normal and hardcore. Like there will be some areas with permanent death and the others will be temporary death you will be told that you are entering a permanent death area when you do.
As of now, we have only 3 types of servers planned:
Realistic Servers with permanent death
Normal Servers without permanent death
Roleplay Servers without permanent death and with forced role-play
I think there are going to be 3 servers not 1
