hehe, that would be a little harsh... just to enlighten you:

1. I have never heard of a single MMORPG that makes you start from scratch every time you die. Death is so regualr in the early stages that the game would be complete "carp"
2. FFXI works it all out by deducting EXP from you when you die, unless you wish to wait up to an hour for a friendly white mage to come and cast life on you (and thats probably mp expensive)
3. No clans can come and kill you in FFXI because all fighting is between humans and server-side monsters. They are even yet to incorperate any system where you can walk up to another player and challenge them, though I wouldn't be suprised if they put that in later.

Make what you will about them leaving out Player vs Player... its a double edged sword as for one side of the story, it makes roleplaying more fun... but on the other side, it becomes the tool of arseholes who prey on the low-level and inexperienced players.
