"You’ll be able to create accounts on a dedicated Deadman Server"

Is this requiring a new subscription or not? Really would like to know. PLEASE TELL US CLEARLY.

Also, as others have noted, safe zones seem to safe, at least with 5x xp still active. The 1x in safe/5x in elsewhere seems like a good idea, though where do you train bank skills though.

Also also, I don't like pvp and think this is great. This is pvp where not everybody is fighting with set standards and whatnot; I'll come across pvpers and non-pvpers to fight.

Make it so teleportation is limited to 1 teleport every 30 minutes or so, not only does this balance out the 5x exp, but it also makes it so if you don't want to wait the 30 minutes your going to have to go into non-safe zones to reach another city/safezone.

Alright I've been reading a lot of posts lately and I'd like to give my own opinion, not sure if anyone will read this but still... Let's go.
I personally take a more hardcore point of view for this, and like the idea of it being a lot harder, so a lot of my points will be to reduce the easy-ness.
My overarching belief for deadman mode is that players will always be on their toes. If you want to survive, you'll always have the log out tab open, and a half inventory of food. Death should be a punishing thing, so your levels REALLY MEAN SOMETHING. Your achievements should really be something to be proud of. I can think of a lot of "Road to barrows gloves" etc. youtube series being made and enjoyable to watch.

I like the idea that you can pk anyone anywhere. However spawn points should be a non-PvP area, as a personal bankstander I would appreciate a few actual safe spots.
The amount of exp you loose on death is a good idea, that's about 7 levels by the way, which isnt that bad. 20 levels could be considered too much, and all your levels is way too punishing.
Now, protecting 5 skills? Really? Let's try to think up some alternatives... How about you get to choose 3 skills which only loose 2 to 4 levels, not 7? (Re-reading that it seems like i mean that your skills are randomly decreased two to four levels. While that's not what i meant, it sparks the idea of randomly loosing exp on death. not 50%, but rather 70%-20% or something, so dying comes with a gamble as well.) That way there is a little grace, but it helps to prevent accounts training only a few skills.
Only loosing 28 items from your bank? My opinion is that you should loose everything but about 2 items (or stacks of items, limited to say... 5 million max stack?) And then your vanquisher can pick his favorite 28 items from the items remaining.
Lastly, x5 the exp. Actually not a bad idea, although it should definitely be cut down to say 3x the exp, and x1 in safezones.
No space, ty 4 read I found out how to make a signature! Woop woop! ----> Spoiler!

here is some thoughts

its looking better than the initial idea, but it still needs some tweaks. make the safes zones for banks only and not whole towns. current safe zones should be converted to protected zones (aka if you are skulled and enter this area guards teleport to you and tb/freeze you) note: protected zones should still have pvp enabled. the xp loss should be reduced to about 30% umm 5x xp should not apply to safe/protected zones. im not positive about this idea but maybe a start/restart store that sells bronze-addy gear and shrimp-swordfish food for over normal store sell prices?

edit: maybe 1.5/2x xp for protected zones? and make yaks in non safe/protected zone

Im pretty sure you can attack anyone EVERYWHERE even at banks, and the safe zones are just the thingy with the guards. I found out how to make a signature! Woop woop! ----> Spoiler!
