I think losing stats when you die is a good idea.
It stops people from just randomly running around killing everything that moves because they will only gain and not lose.
However. Pking is another thing.
How about losing stats when being killed by monsters but not when being killed by players.
Hunger was a good idea but food is to rare so I have to sto every 20 mins for loads of water. So either
1) Make food less rare
or
2) Half the rate the hunger increases by.
As for the pking problem.
When someone pks they get +1 to a playerskilled flag.
They get a -1 every hour.
When the flag reaches 10 and above a NPC of a policeman will run after them and attack them.
Policeman
-Health = 15/15
-Attack = 15
-Defense = 15
-Speed = 1.4
Once the policeman kills them they will lose a stat and their wanted level (playerskilled flag) will decrease by 3.
If its still above 10 another policeman comes along 5-10 minutes later.
If they keep killing the policeman each time they get a +1 to playerskilled flag and when they get the flag to 20+ then along comes a FBI agent.
FBI Agent
-Health = 30/30
-Attack = 25
-Defense = 30
-Speed = 1.8
Same as before. However if the FBI agent keeps getting killed then once the flag is 30+ along comes the team of....
Mulder + Scully. (X-Files People)
Mulder
-Health = 75/75
-Attack = 60
-Defense = 50
-Speed = 2.0
Scully
-Health = 80/80
-Attack = 50
-Defense = 60
-Speed = 2.0
Oh yeah. 2 on 1.
But if the pker is still winning then when the flag reaches 40+ along comes....
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Buffy
-Health = 100/100
-Attack = 80/80
-Defense = 80/80
-Speed = 3.0
But if the pker is some kind of super person and the flag reaches 50+ then along comes, none other, than....
Diamond Weapon (FF7 for anyone who hates that monster)
Diamond Weapon
-Health = 9999/9999
-Attack = 9999
-Defense = 9999
-Speed = 5.0
*has horrible memories of getting slaughtered by Diamond Weapon with level 90 and above characters*
