Changing the death penalty on a Necesse server can significantly impact the player experience. The standard death penalty encourages cautious gameplay, but modifying it can create a more relaxed environment, allowing players to focus on exploration and creativity. This change can help reduce frustration and make the game more enjoyable for players. By altering the death penalty, server administrators can tailor the game to suit the preferences of their community.
