Similar to how you retain a few items on death, I suggest the creation of a skill/process that extends this benefit to other items as well. This process is soulbinding, and it will require the cooperation of many different professions to happen.
First: A smith has to inscribe the item. Inscribe will be identical to Engrave in its reagents, level, mana cost, and cool down, except it leaves the item engraved saying <hungers for a soul> or something along those lines.
Second: The inscribed item must be taken to an enchanter. The enchanter will Ward the item to prepare it for the binding and protect it from malicious intent. Ward can work kind of like enchanting where it costs levels.
Third: The Warded and Inscribed item needs to be brought to a runesmith. The runesmith will activate the item using some expensive reagent (possibly a nether star or a few end portals?) Now the item should read <desires a soul> or something along those lines.
Fourth and finally: The person who wishes to have the item soulbound to him or her must have the item in his/her hotbar, selected, and they will need to initiate a ritual (a command or skill possibly) that consumes a large sum of the person's souls (like 800-900s maybe). The ritual ends with the death of the person who initiated the ritual, and when the person awakes at the graveyard the soulbound item is with them and will continue to return to them as long as they die with it in their inventory.
This process is a good way to make one's character in game not dependent on solely levels and money and town stuffs, but also on the weapons and armor that define them (or will define them). I can see this coming in handy later when, or if, custom weapons and armor is introduced.
This is also a good way to force people to band together in either township or contract to accomplish tasks.
Feel free to discuss/edit/ridicule my idea. I was tired when I wrote this and this might make no sense in the morning.
