Waters and the 
Everyone check out the NEWS that Alboimus linked for us?

I personally like the xp debt system. I am not sure that its flawless, but I like it nonetheless. It gives a sense of responsibility to the group as a whole, maybe more so, than what we have seen in the past.
Playing the “Devil’s Advocate,” I can also see more heated confrontations between players. I see the “XP Debt” finger, being pointed in the future.

Anyone else see both sides of this coin?

I personally like the debt sharing. With a six man group, it's spread out throughout all members. It takes very little time for the group as a whole to eliminate the debt between them all. This is much better than one person taking the full penalty and to me encourages group responsibility for death of a member. Although some people are upset about it, I think it's great and the penality is actually a very weak one in group settings this way.

As long as I don't have to have my corpse dragged through a zone like Karnor's Castle, I'm cool with the death system.

The XP debt is wonderful. It always seemed inevitable while playing EQL that when I leveled, a death was just around the corner to de-level me. Grr.



By the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain.

HA!

This is so true. It used to never fail for us. Whenever someone was close to level(in our usual group)there seem to be a "wipe" right around the corner.
