  This topic is so out of place in this section.

  There was a death penalty debate/discussion/thread about two weeks ago from the weekly debate question that mmorpg.com started doing.  You may want to post your comments in there.

  Down with xp loss!

  That is an extremely narrow view of the whole situation. Think about the game without an exp loss... People would go up to incredibly hard mobs and get slaughtered and try time and time again. DOn't you think people should be afraid to die in a MMO. It just make sense.

  Take away a penalty and you take away an important part of the game. That's one thing I really didn't like about WoW.

  I think its not so much you lose when you dies. I would rather say that you should lose even more exp when you die and that your weapons breaks a litle so you need to repair them. I with Velcroy on that you should be afraid to die!

  I want xp lose when you die, but I dont want it too much.
  XP loses equivalent to 1 hour of non-stop grinding is way too much.

  Yes the death penalty is fine, honestly I hardly even notice it. Any game without death penalty is weak and you have to fear of dying. Games that have at least some form of penalty force you to strategize your moves instead of blindly charging in. Makes it much more fun, If you cant handle a minor loss then you need to re-strategize your playing habits or pick a new game cuz this death penalty is easily regainable.

  the loss of exp is rather random

  u can lose no exp or lots

  personally the most ive lost is 11% in 1 death at level 32 and that takes a good bit of hunrting to get back. also remember you donot drop items ect when you die. i think losing exp on death is fine so long as you cant de-level
