I remember dying in the MUD i played. You respawn naked in town, finally get to your corpse and find that the mob that killed you has looted pieces of your gear and is now holding your sword. good luck beating them now. and as bonus you have aged. now it takes more movement points to move from room to room, eventually you are just too old to more about practically and have to re-roll. To avoid dying there was a panic threshold, where your character would pick a random direction and flee. Fun memories of being chaos of being chased by angry mobs, while i was bleeding with a broken leg, lost, in the dark.

Dying was awful, you became heavily invested.
