I disagree with this.
It was easy on Sims it should be easy on here.
I don't see about what we should discuss here. The server would be dominated by the big PKing factions which means that the server is empty within a week because nobody wants to start over and over again. Paying something to respawn would be an advantage for big factions too. Losing EXP based on your level would be a pretty good idea in my opinion.
At the expense of fun from game ? From new and new characters to try ?
Don't see a problem at losing like 6 to 7k at level 21. Should be easy to level up again and it lets people think about what they're doing.
Its not problem for someone who have shitload of time and who have patience with clicking clicking clicking ...
