Make it so that when you die you lose XP (even if you're at the cap) and can go back down a level. Make equipment 2x as durable, but not possible to repair, so when it's gone, it's gone and you have to replace it.

Make it so that when you die, you spawn at your hearth location and have to run back, naked and vulnerable to aggro, to your corpse, wherever it is (even if it's waaaaay inside a dungeon). And if you die again, well, there goes a bunch more xp and you have to run back anyway. After 30 minutes? An hour? Your corpse decays and your stuff can be looted, but after 2 hours even that decays.

Add elites back into the overall world, remove their ability to be leashed back (so they can be kited across the world to slaughter people).

I wonder how many people would play on that server as their primary.
Add bards to the game and I'll be all over that. Training Sand Giants in the oasis part 2 here I come!
