I think permanent death should remain. When we had the 24/48 hour respawn timer, death wasn't as meaningful as it is now. Notice how there were a lot more trials back then. It makes it so people are more careful and actually avoid dying. If death wasn't permanent, then what would be the point of having it? You don't really lose anything from it, and the only down side is that you don't have access to your account for a day or two. However, the /import command should come back, but it shouldn't import weapons to avoid abuse.

Also, this crimezone should be fixed, as many others mentioned. The bots are really overpowered right now, and I think they need to be nerfed. Not everyone has a saber which makes it difficult to fight them without dying easily. This also makes it so people don't want to fight, since there is a greater risk of losing their account. If death is permanent, then it shouldn't be so easy to die.
