Crazy idea but: would it be possible to change the tombstone idea to instead reward the murderer with a random item from the victims inventory (and respawn the victim with his remaining items intact) ?
I'm thinking a single item rather than all items in an inventory slot (e.g. victim is carrying misc rubbish plus a stack of diamonds - killer randomly gets one diamond, rather than the entire stack)
Obviously PvP'ers will not like the reduction in potential loot but this idea might encourage more PvP as people wont be so afraid of engaging in combat because they aren't risking everything. Also reduces camping (of tombstones)
Other ideas:
- could behave similarly to the murder system with more items being looted based on karma ratings.
- rather than a random item, show the murderer the victims inventory allowing them to choose which item(s) to loot.
- maybe: killer gets all victims armor and their item in hand (i.e. their weapon) plus an inventory item
