And the xp hole used to be REALLY bad because there was no limit on it. A mistake like what you just did could easily put a char 50k into the hole if he had just ranked.

There used to be a LOT more death traps too, and a lot of no-pass doors with keys and REALLY nasty things behind them and a way in other than the locked door. Some of those still exist and are always fun. At least one of them I know of has the no-ghost code that prevents you from walking into it as a ghost. Maybe that is what a suitable change would be, but I can't see it being fun sticking that on every no-recall death trap.
