Old death mechanic

I was just reading through The Second Age playguide when I recalled the old death penalty.

Upon death you could choose immediate resurrection with substantial and immediate loss to all stats and skills (never lower than starting) or choose to wander as a ghost until you find a healer or shrine.

You could also only resurrect 5 times in a period of 20 minutes. It took 20 minutes for each one of these 5 possible counts to reduce by 1.

It's been on my list for a while. I hope to get this in soon.

Thanks

Awesome.

Just a question, if it's possible to alter the server and client in such away, will it eventually be possible to remove all the UI references to newer expansions? For example, removing "samurai" and "paladin" from the character creation screen?

No, unfortunately that's all in the client, but there are some third party clients out there, although I haven't experimented with then.

Any idea where to start searching? I'm hanging for one that resembles the original Second Age client. I tried connecting with 1.x but it doesn't work.
