What about making the change proportional to the power level of the
killed character? It doesn't quite apply to your model, because it's
already dynamic enough, but think about this in the typical more static
world:
"And he fell dead, and the grief of nature was so deep, that the
surrounding mountains shattered and became the plains, and where the
plains were, now lie the lakes, and there's a hill at the place he died"

Doesn't it apply only to the graphical client? I hardly imagine the text
MUD operating with the Doom files, except probably for the spatial
dimensions and toppology.
