This man speaketh the truth. I played EQ a long time and some corpse runs were just brutal. I will never complain about the CRs here. To be honest I wish the skills didn't diminish upon death but this just makes me play smarter and still with that I blame most deaths on me anyhow.

Oh, EQ corpse runs. Stark nekkid. Get a monk or necromancer to pull your corpse from the middle of the mobs. I knew someone who went into Plane of Fear right after it opened and he'd just hit level 55. Of course he died and the experience hit dropped him down to 54, so he couldn't even get back into Fear to recover his stuff. Imagine trying level up from 54 to 55 (one of the worst Hell Levels!) before your corpse rotted. He made it, but barely.

I've done plenty of corpse runs in this game, and none of them were tough except one, where I had to call the BRS to deal with the **Draugr camping three(!) of my tombstones in the swamp. Since then, I figure I've paid my dues in that regard and just go into fly mode to get my stuff.
