Try out Age of Conan, Cimmeria server. Every zone you can gank/kill minus people running instances for gear. Has a murderer system too.
I think this would be the opposite of what he wants. He wants death to mean something. A guy should not be able to 'gank' you without feeling like he might lose something. . or else he can just do it all he wants . . I think a game like the OP wants would not have so much "ganking".
Actually it's the exact opposite. You have gankers that don't care if they die because they've killed and looted so many people they aren't worried about losing gear. I've even played games where you lost a random amount of xp and that doesn't stop ganking either...lol It's part of the game it's a risk you take just for playing it. And what fun is life without risk.

Lineage 2 does this better than any other game out there.
