Replace lichdom touch by a decent offensive skill, like radiance for example, and only make it possible to enable lichseed at night.

Look, here's a simple showing of how much lich affects combat:

Let's say Thorgal was killing turtles in the Inner Sea, is attacked by a group, dies, and has lichseed up (which anyone with one-eighth of a brain would).  Thorgal now has 30 seconds to get away - and don't even think of bringing up eye sigils, because we're hardly going to eye sigil the world.  He can easily make it far, far away and probably quite close to Mag - and, as he is a tarot Nihilist, upon reforming he can use hermit, and since he'll be smart and go to a room with no monolith, there'll be no chance of stopping it from happening.  Thus, Thorgal gets away with 0% experience loss, despite the fact that he was in enemy territory, and a slight loss of power.

Now, let's take Amaru killing seawolves in the Sea of Despair.  Amaru is attacked by a group, dies, and vitaes.  The people who killed him dropped a monolith, so he isn't able to hermit out.  He tries to run away, but because he isn't a soul and he can be watched and attacked, he is hunted and killed.  Because he is in enemy territory, he loses 60% experience and a slight bit of power.

And to the Magnagorans who think Lich shouldn't be downgraded: out of the last 10 times you died, how many of those times have you lost experience?  Because I lose it every time I die.

Give lichdom a different and more original (soulcage) advantage than the no exp loss thing.

How about one (or more, but probably one would do) of these solutions:

1) Lichseed can only be activated once per RL day.
2) Lichseed cannot be used if you are already a lich.
3) If an eye sigil is dropped in the room they die in, souls cannot move.

Ahh, I see now you want Lichdom to be useless huh.

Those are good points Shammarah, but the inner sea is just one area and situation. In raids and the rest eye sigils should work fine. Magnagora's advantage in the inner sea is kind of like Serenwilde's advantage on ethereal really. Very cheap 

EDIT: That said, I think changes to the areas or the way the skills work in those areas specifically is more important than changing the skills.

Actually no, Magnagora is quite disadvantaged in the water.

It doesn't seem like lichdom is the problem, Amaru. Neither you, nor Malicia, nor Triden, nor Folkien, nor Cronnacht, nor Munsia have it, yet all of you raid Glomdoring and its holdings pretty often and I haven't seen any of you die while raiding yet (though Munsia has been killed a few times in Faethorn in retaliation).

Well, duh, I was using it as an example so that no one would bring up the stupid eye sigil argument.  I think it's a stupid argument because people would probably just run in and disenchant them, as eye is a fairly low level in enchantment anyway.  Also, doors won't work in this situation, and they wouldn't work in most, except for the mines - in any other village, there isn't a front door like that.

How would that make it useless?  It's just be less insane.

By the way, answer my question.  How many times have you lost experience out of your last 10 deaths?

We can't demesne the Sea of Despair underwater, despite it being tainted.
