Is there a need to carry death items anymore, ie is the death penalty still the same. Been along time since I played and I m patching it up as we speak.

The death penalty is still the same. You drop a number of items based on your level.

However, there are Augmentation now that you can use to reduce the number of items you drop to the point where you don't drop any items at all. The Augmentations are expensive though, costing 2 billion experience each. Each Augmentation reduces the number of items you drop by 5. The death item Augmentations do not work in PvP, so if you die fighting another player, you still drop items. They only affects PvM deaths.

I use Massive Mana Charges as death items. They are worth 65,000 each. The problem with using all one type of item is he system sees identical items as half the value of the first one. So, the game sees every Massive Mana Charge except the first one as having a value of 32,500.

Also the official forums are at http://forums.ac.turbine.com/, they are more active.
