sorry but WHAT?

just as long as the harsher penalty isn't to harsh. Gamers of all game levels play mmo. People sometimes are not that great with video games but enjoy playing them. Like myself, i'm not that epic of a gamer. I have a hard time playing some games on the hardest settings. Not everyone is an expert player. So a too harsh penalty will scare ppl away.

LOL I play on normal or hard at most and feel accomplished, I know the feeling.

As far as penalty goes what they had in FFXI was not harsh at all unless you were truely "new" and would get raised and run back into more aoe for another faceplant. 2400 XP/SP (65+) isn't too bad and this is at a higher level not at the start, at these levels you have access to raise which reduces the loss by alot.

you also had key items that further reduced the loss, these things helped lessen the impact but still steer players to play less zerg-like and more tactically.

This is very true.

I think as long as teams can make up for each other's strength and weaknesses, I guess it should be ok. *cough* *cough*. Wow.

I didn't mind ffxi exp loss on death much untill I got to 70..... and my rdm deleved 2 times...... thanks to maat ; ; I pulled all nighters backline healing just to get 70 asap to join a sky LS ; ; only to loose it ; ; I stopped playing rdm after that ; ; And I did it the way everyone else did it. >.> And wasn't a bad rdm....

If you don't mind a Wow video I have a wegame.com video about how I played WoW as a rogue. It set to montly crue music. Its called ninjakari ninja skills (not looting). Kinda just a taste on how well i am at mmo. I also have a funny video for a wegame contest they had listing the worst job in an mmo. I picked ffxi whm XD but during the filming I kept getting attacked which added to the humor. No VO for it as I had no mic.

The name is from a guild on one of the mud I played. It was under the monk archtype and your weapon was a chain. You could add barbs on it or a sickle scythe. Wrap the chain around your fist and punch ppl. hehee

anyway.... sorry for the ramble.

Thats why I say without the deleveling, there was no positive effects from deleveling that the exp loss did not already add. I personally have never had that problem cause I never do anything without a fat buffer and I am a WHM main so only 300 xp per death for me.

Every game has a penalty for dying

WoW: 10-15% dmg to equiped gear.
Anarchy Online: lose ALL unsaved experience and regain it piece by piece as you relevel.
FFXI: 10% of your total exp needed for your current level, caps at 2400.
Tibia: (old as dirt with IMO WORST death penalty EVER) Drops ALL items in your inventory with a 20% chance to drop 1-2 of your equiped items.

Some were more harsh then others, some weren't harsh enough */stare WoW*.
