When one dies we currently leave a tombstone, which is a nice touch but here's this for an idea. On death a sprite of bones (not a full skeleton) maybe ribcage a skull, etc. are left on the ground with a broken weapon of the way you died?
bladed weapon: a chipped sword down in the ground.
spear/haft weapon: a broken haft sticking out of the ground.
missle weapon: two arrows out of the ground.
other/blunt: just bones.
someone of great importance killed (a set high skill?): a torn banner leaning blowing in the wind, with the weapon of death listed above.
of course I can only guess they will eventually add decay to these things less servers get laggy (specially on full pvp servers).
just a thought that would give the area outside your keep a more "cursed battlefield look" then "tombstone hill" from the wild west.
