Have "tokens" for death, like maybe 4 free deaths and then after that you have to actually be resurrected or you just don't come back. The RP would be amazing, and a level 1-5 character wouldn't feel worthless. Would be all about the RP.
I would play on that in a heartbeat.
Mmhm sounds awesome.
Especially if we used the premade crafting system (CNR i think its called - for mundane weapons, healing kits, and optional food).
I played and DM'd on a server like this in NWN1 and it was, to this day, the best RP experience i've ever had. It was also really nice for new players because being level 1, due to the nature of the server, meant you were effective in events right from the start since they were balanced to most people being around level 1-5 with a few beyond that. A hand full of really dedicated and moure "famous" PC's were around level 10+ and they earned it almost entirely through RP XP. Grinding was not even a thing really, wasn't even necessary.
