Imagine a world (Gruesome PVP Combat Descriptions) - Not for the faint of heart

You log into the server you picked just after installing the game all your friends got you hyped for. After completing the starting quest and achieving your first mount, and set of beginner gear you notice an odd crowd just on the edge of the next zone you were prompted to enter. You cross the border to the next zone and *BOOM* you're dead; You just got farmed by the group of epic pvp gamers that prey on the new players to their server.
You get reassured by your friends that it's normal for that to happen and they encourage you to just forget about it and they say they're going to come and get you from the border and take you to the nearby town. You type /sit and begin to wait for your friends.

-Time Passes-

You see your friends approaching the border of the zone you cannot enter due to the group of epic pvp gamers. As they get closer you notice that the group of epic pvp gamers starting to notice the small group of friends making their way down the path. *The epic pvp gamers all cloak and setup an ambush* You try to tell your friends there are a group of epic pvp gamers but they're still laughing at you for dying to the group of epic pvp gamers. *All your friends die and lose the materials they were bringing with them to give to you* One of your friends gets mad at you and begins to cuss you out for not telling them that there was a group of epic pvp gamers. You tell your friends it's no longer worth it and that you've wasted 4 hours of your evening just trying to leave your spawn to play with them. *You log out and uninstall the game*

Since there is no deleveling, a max level character is not affected by experience dept (unless there is a reputation/faction kind of exp).

Current death penalties. These scale with increased debt.
Skill and stat dampening
Lower health and mana
Lower gear proficiency
Reduction in drops from monsters
Drop a percentage of raw materials
Damaged gear (Repair costs are intended to matter)

Additionally,
Removing corruption through grinding will be impacted by xp debt.
When an expansion releases with additional levels available, then the previously max level character will have to clear debt to continue leveling.

All these depend on death and corruption. Levels difference can reduce, if not eliminate, the risk of death for the high level. That will depend on how much levels make a difference in the power progression. Maybe it can be mitigated with numbers: if only a few low levels are enough to take down a max level player the hypothetical scenario of this thread won't happen that much. As for corruption, the butchered low levels would have to be flagged as non-combatant for the attacker to receive any, thus even that is not guaranteed.
