It would be nice to have a spell that could gate your corpse to
you. Then, I have heard people talking about some games where a player
could buy corpse insurance: if you die then you get back everything that
you were carrying. I don't like corpse runs either. It takes away from the
fun in the game. It might be more fun if you had a chance of coming back as
a random race/creature each time that you died and had to stay that way for
a number of game days before you returned to normal. That could work for or
against you. It would force players to temporarily use characters of other
races and learn more about them.
I would not eliminate rezzes. What would be the point of investing
time into building up a character only to lose everything in a single
fight? I'd stop playing the game. I wouldn't even have to think about it.
The fun of playing the game wouldn't be worth the time spent and lost,
spent and lost yet again developing a temporary character. For me, the fun
of the game is watching my character grow. Without that, the battles and
treasure are pointless to me and so is the game.
