well there are few options you can do without hard coding:
-declare some zones (like some cities) to be no combat - so there is some place relatively safe
-via player.pl file you could say cast Divine Aura on a player who just been killed, which will last until he recovers his corpse
-you could also remove corpse recovery - so players respawn with all their gear. But if you want to institute a penalty, upon death you could run a script that:
-will remove a certain amount of plat from dead player and give it to his killer
-if no plat was found, a random item removed, while random item is given to killer.
-Amount of plat will be based of your level
so you get same kill-reward, just without having corpse issue in between.
Basically try to handle via scripts as much as possible so there is as little artificial rule enforcement as possible.
