I have noticed that when any creature/monster drops you below zero Hit Points, they continue to beat/chomps on your prone body.
This game is brutal enough with lag, transitions failing to work, critical hits, and numerous other factors beyond the players control easily dropping characters.
However, when the chance to stabilize is taken away from the players chances, it increases the brutality.
On another server I played, they implemented an OnDeath Script that cast a powerful Sanctuary on the downed character for one round duration. The effect was that the creatures stopped attacking the downed characters, and they were allowed to have a chance to stabilize and recover naturally.
I understands that creatures and monsters would simply "Eat" the character after dropping it, however in reality, that would take away the characters chances to be ressurected or raised anyways.
Humanoids on the other hand would be more prone to stop hitting you once you were down, and would loot your body, not continue to bash you into oblivion.
This OnDeath suggestion would replicate both of these fairly accurately.
Of course, you could have an additional OnDeath script implemented that takes 10% of your gold whenever dropped to below 0 Hit Points (To represent the looting of your corpse by Humanoids), but no experience until you need to be respawned.
Just some ideas, to a great server...
