So with this change, what makes this game fundamentally different from almost every other MMO out there, especially EQ2. Are diplomacy, and a larger and emptier world supposed to be the Vanguard legacy? Obviously the death penalty by itself doesn't fundamentally change the game, however with the other changes and "tweaks" you've made, it is a far different game than what described to us up till release and even after release.

With this change, will you be implementing what Brad said before about this only being the case with certain MOB difficulties? Meaning that 1-4 dot mobs allow you to go grab your shard (your gear stays on you), 5 dot MOBs leave your gear on your corpse but you can summon, and 6 dot MOBs requiring a full corpse run?
