How should the potential abuse due to give and the new encumbrance penalties to combat.

Why do we need any option at all?  If someone hands you a big, heavy bag full of severed elven dicks to slow you down in combat, there's nothing stopping you from just giving it back to them.

Because you'll probably be hit for 60 hit points before you notice that someone gave you a back of dicks, and then hit for 60 more while trying to type drop all.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

Point taken.

Which you would then email about, and it would be blatant abuse, and you'd probably get your character back anyway.

My understanding is that the staff do not give out resurrections for characters killed by code abuse.  I could be wrong, though.

You know ... I still have not had a chance to fight under these new restrictions. Anybody notice a huge difference?

This is true, they only give characters back if you die from a code glitch....

Sometimes.

I have seen people get rezzed after accidentally fireballing themselves, I have seen them get rezzed after accidently running off the Shield Wall (Twice with the same PC actually, this was back before the "insta-stop no fall" code was put in). I have seen them get rezzed for accidentally walking into the Sea of Silt. And I have seen them get rezzed, this one is good, for accidentally eating something they posioned themselves and dieing.

None of which were code glitches, so my assumption is its very much based on character by character basis. 

I can kind of see why though, all of the above PC's were deeply involved in World plots, and as such, having them suddenly die and end thier important parts in these plots would be a huge bummer, not only for the staff pushing the plots, the player of the PC, but also for all of those PC's depending on the "now dead" PC for thier enjoyment.

Not everything is black and white, if you think you deserve a rez, regardless of how you died, send in a email, it does happen often enough that its worth your time to try and get your pc back.
