First, not to sound like a brown nose, but as a new EQ player, I appreciate the idea that the GM's are actually listening.
That being said, something I think would help with the balance, and possibly cut down on the corpse camping/greifing, is to allow casters to come back from a PvP death at something more than 0% mana.
When a caster is slain by another player, especially if they're killed near their bind (which does happen, though not as much as people complain about), they're put at a serious disadvantage, requiring them to med, sometimes for a rather long time, before they can join the battle, or even have a chance to invis, or shadowstep, etc, to get away, whereas a melee character can get up from a PvP death, and immediately leap into the fray once again.
Again, I've only just started playing EQ about a month ago, and this is admittedly my first server, but I enjoy the shit out of this server. The people are mostly good people (despite the forum posts to suggest otherwise), and the server has my immersion factor to 11.
Sadly there's no way to actually prevent bind camping, other than to plug, but that's just part of the game.
