| Sullon Zek has xp loss on death. Net result: Server full of grieftastic retards (and by 'full' I mean a couple of hundred players in prime time).
WoW has very, very minimal pvp death penalties (i.e. just time lost). Net result: The concept of PvP in MMOGs is reinvigorated.
Guess which one is the viable model?
