One thing to remember, this isn't LIVE, this is Free Shard EQ so you make it too rough people have no reason to stay. I have played on nothing but PvP servers in every game I have ever played in so I have been around. Item loot was a BLAST but in the end most people ended up hating it. XP loss will end up promoting hard core griefing which will also runn people off, just make it coin loot. The corpse run plus coin loot will be enough to make it worth it.
If the server is more guild vs guild, that in itself will maintain the population strickly from the unity of guilds fighting other guilds. There needs to be a honor system among the players, allow corpse runs as long as there announced in ooc or whatever, enforce loot and scoot aka LnS and make it there needs to be an hour before the person can return to the zone. It may sound funny or even dumb to some but having a code of honor among the players themselves that is ENFORCED by the players will go a long way in maintaining the stability of the server.
