If you want it to be killing people to get them out of a zone entirely because the risks, then that is absolutely fine and has many of its own merits.

However, some of us here think the idea of no exp loss promoting enemies to return for round 3, 4 and 5+ sounds like way more fun.
I understand what you're saying, too. You wanna fight people! Because it's fun and maybe why you played EQ live.

Well what I want, are for these fights to matter. People should have to think about why they're getting into fights, and if the risks involved are worth fighting anyway. There's more opportunity for roleplay this way, and it's simply more realistic. Realism is a good thing, and it's something I've found every other mmo in existence to be lacking. EQ was the happy exception.
