I just think how much death penalties have been nerfed down. I remember the days in EQ of losing experience, and having to run naked back to my body. I can't believe I never ragequit that game over it.
I remember one night after excessive drinking I played, and how a big mistake that was. I somehow blacked out, and died somewhere in the world. This was back before maps, indicators, and etc. You had to know how to get back to your corpse, or you would lose all your equipment.
I remember waking up the next day with my character naked, and not even having a clue where my corpse was at. I only had around 24 hours to find it, or lose everything. It would be fine if you had your equipment, but running around naked made it pretty difficult.
I spent hours asking in chat if anyone had seen my body laying around. Finally with just a few hours left before my equipment rotted someone spotted it. I ended up in some zone I had never even been too before so I would of never found it on my own.
After that experience I am so glad that death penalties in MMORPG's are so much easier now. They may be a little to easy, but that is fine with me.
Do you remember the days of losing xp, and running back to your corpse to collect your stuff?
