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.

Only thing I wish about losing skill points, is it would be nice if you just lost skills in the weapon you had equipped at the time, plus run and jump. Or maybe 3 highest skills. Losing them in swim, blocking and sneak is a drag. Cause I got swim and sneak early game and don't tend to level those at this point.

Have to say though, that after 1st run through swamp, by then you know the subleties of the game. Then dying rarely happens until Plains. Only if your out at night and ate junk food or forgot to eat. Depends on how much risk you want to take on.
