Just an idea, but perhaps Verant could reduce the toughness of the combats
in the Planes so people have a better chance of survival but also make the
Planes somehow reflect what they are. For example, in Fear, the players
magic resist rate gets periodically checked to see if they become scared.
Could be at anytime, in combat or while they are sitting around. If so,
they start fleeing in a random direction. In Hate, make it where a player
can, if they fail their resist, become consumed by irrational hate and start
attacking anything nearby, monsters or players. In Fire, players are hit by
constant heat that affects health and/or stamina. In Air, constant gales
that cause damage. I came up with these on the fly so I'm sure there are
other things that could be done similar to these.

I don't think this is a problem I will have to worry about for another year
or so. By that time, who knows how the game will work.
