Default Respawning OOM after a pvp death.

Is this going to be added with the next patch? This is a classic fix that would really help the server/cut down on bind rushing.

Customers on the PvP-Teams servers have been plagued by a tactic known
as "Bind Rushing". Casters would bind themselves in a hostile area or
dungeon, and attack everyone of an opposing race in the area. Sooner or
later the caster would die. They would then respawn, memorize a few
spells, then jump back in to attack their wounded opponents.

As a first step in combating this practice and improving life for those
on the PvP-Servers, casters will now respawn with zero mana after being
killed by another player in a duel or open combat.

This code is new for those on Tallon and Vallon Zek. It has been in
place for some time on Rallos Zek and works very well there.
