The spirit quest resolve the problem.

No, I have now understand that we can have regeneration and reincarnation, but
regeneration should mean a drop of skills and reincarnation should make a more
powrful character.

But death is death, you aren't going to die because of walking on the city or
work chopping trees. But if you start to rush, you will be killed.
Imagine that you are a character of the top levels, and you have had a hard
fight with another with another character, and you are almost dead, and then a
newbie attack you with a bow and kill you, how do you feel? If this man know
that if he try to do that with his character he could die permanently he won't
try.
