Sacer actually mentioned something along these lines here several moons ago. In effect he spoke of limiting the amount of foes a single PC could engage during a PK. I played a long defunct MUD with this feature. From 3+ "gangers" one would get an echo informing you that there was too little room for you to get in a melee attack or that you were too far back away the action (i.e, a caster unable to cast iceshards without harming his groupmates). At 3 this was very rare and it became common from 5+. I have no idea how it was implemented but size of PCs involved did play a factor. And the higer lvl you were the less likely you were to be excluded from the fray. I've no idea as to the "golden days" here but this would seem sensible.

So this thread seems to have degenerated into the Team Evil vs Team Goodie nonsense as well as nostalgia for former years. But I think the idea is to (try to) make CF better (at least that's my mindset here) so I wondered if any immortal has any views on the substantive comments in the original message...
