Ideas on lockout instead of exp loss for pvp death?

[Giovanni]

Sadist - I like to know my victims suffered, and I don't die enough for the penalty to bother me.

Risk makes the kills more enjoyable. Look at the death penalties in UO, MortalQuest, Discord, and Sullon versus the option to /duel on p1999 blue. Which rule set attracted more pvpers?

Not all pvp ends in death. I spent an hour training against Salem last week all in good fun. However, serious pvp must have consequences in order if it is to be consequential.
