If you want to improve player retention, the only thing that needs to be addressed is CR. Put in sullon zek rule set and give priest of discord in towns the ability to summon corpses after they've been dead for X amount of hours. It's pretty damn simple!
corpse retrieval was really a big part of the EQ experience.. it's a part fo the penalty for dying. I actually liked trying to sneak into places and retrieve my corpse from corpse campers. but i do understand how it can be frustrating to ppl.
