For those who watch Survivor, Elderan is basically asking us to give up the immunity necklace for nothing in return. LNS is a great rule, and has already made the server more enjoyable. Could it potentially use some tweaking? Sure. But that doesn't mean it needs to be removed. And, the more I think about it, the more I like the concept that if you die you're out of the battle, and Nihilum will also long term in Velious. Otherwise, you get 15 hour + PVP battles of a few stragglers chain wiping you with no chance of actually winning the mob. This rule prevents that retarded situation that makes the server unplayable. Imagine if this had been in back when FF had won the Nagafen fight and now won the right to battle Nagafen? Who knows what would have happened. What happened instead was a few sore losers sticking around till 3am in the morning to try to chain wipe the pvp victors until their morale was destroyed. That isn't fun, and I'm glad the GMs recognize it.

Can't disagree with the policy being used to that effect, but the GMs really, really want to ban people, even for minor and/or accidental "corpse camping" (see: Andis).
Let's be honest - the situation in Fear (and earlier OT) between Nihilum and RD was what prompted these rules to go into place. Nobody else was complaining about being corpse camped because it
wasn't a problem for anyone else.
I just think the way the LNS rule is being enforced is unnecessarily complicated. Everyone damn well knows when they're being corpse camped, and everyone damn well knows when they're camping corpse(s). We get massive YTs when a guild wipes another in a big fight, nobody is fooled by Dongshow saying 'he went berserk' in ooc when the YTs keep streaming in once every couple minutes. Making these complicated rules just scares people away from PvPing for fear of violating some undocumented clause of the PnP code.
