The exp loss level 1-50 wasn't that bad. If you are getting corpse camped while you are at the keyboard why wouldn't you just plug and get on a different character for a bit. You can then message some friends to help out or just not log on that char for a half hour.
At low level you could get 20% of a level in an hour pretty easy and that should give you plenty of pvp deaths before you were in the hole.
I figured it was level 51+ that most people had a problem with when concerned about PvP exp loss and that obviously had no effect on the population early on.
I like having a penalty on death but along with a reward for killing someone. Item loot is a lot of fun and I believe it to be a much better system.

Its a dead horse but to anyone who played on Rallos, we can tell it was night and day. You could not spend 80% of your time pvping and 20% pveing on red. You
would be in the hole. It doesnt matter if "it wasnt that bad" what matters is that it made Red a PVE heavy server, where rallos was a PVP heavy server. Totally different experience.
You dont make PVPers stick around with a PVE heavy gameplay, with a sprinkle of pvp on the side. I dont know, to me it was boring as fuck because the grind was so huge, and theres only so much nostalgia you can tap into before it becomes obvious youre not gonna be spending alot of time pvping like you did on Rallos.
Thats why all that was left in the end were mostly: PVEers (Nihilum) and the griefers who slowly but surely ran the servers pop to the ground, after which they quit themselves when there was nobody left to grief and Nihilum was untouchable because they would sit 45 in a zone. And now you got little influx here and there of new people that cant be rapidly griefed out now that xp loss been taken out, but devs reacted too late imo, wether it was for RL reasons or they liked xp loss, whatever.
