more ideas:

 

no debt, just minusxp so you downlvl if you die a lot

make travelpowers only work in caves

max playtime per day limited but you can pay real money for xtratime.

 

 

I know it’s in jest, but I like the down leveling idea.

or: when you die, you receive an injury/debuff with a real-time countdown of at least 2 hours.

-50 run speed, etc.

When you die, it locks that character out for a period of time and randomly selects another character from your roster, who appears doing a grieving emote.

I actually like this idea, but my concern would be that people would lean towards not teaming to avoid it. Maybe reduce the duration to 5 minutes. 

I've had characters that were doing very well solo, on challenging settings. Only to team up for a tf, keep those same settings, and teammates get you killed by aggroing a group and then running next to you and you take splash damage, while you're focused on something else, like reviving a teammate, or killing the last mob of the the previous group.

If the goal is to kill teaming and task forces and the game itself, then go for it. 

 

But that does seem to be the trend of the discussion: How creatively can we kill the game.

if you die in the game they send a drone to your house

Nostalgia is tricky but the only way is forward with fresh ideas.    I don’t want to go back to pre-HC at this point.  I would rather try other post 2019 servers than go to pre issue 24 again.  The good old days were the good old days but it’s time to move forward with new content and approaches.   

Problems will always exist in COH. Elements of this game will forever gain and lose favor based on whoever is running this thing.    I do say anyone storing more than 20 emails in their account - good luck !  That thing is a risky black hole some days.
