Yup, the problem with forcing retirement at (say) level 50 is
that people will just make sure they die over and over at 49
to make sure they never reach 50.

That's why I so like the loot-once idea that's been Kabonged.
:-) Once you've looted all the major mobs, the game is
essentially over and tricks like killing yourself to lose
experience won't let you artifically extend it.
