fits all of your criteria, particularly in originality of theme and gameworld. It's a low(almost none at all)-magic Roman fantasy theme, RP enforced.
The only OOC at all is the 'welcome area' where you create your characters and talk with other players, once you enter the gameworld, it's all strictly IC. The 'gameworld-wide' communication system is IC, and there as a result of an IC organization.
Complex and brilliantly designed combat system with heavy elements of strategy. Level-less and classless.
Permadeath. Yes. The PK system is even being revamped currently, and the playerbase has always demanded good IC reasoning behind pking. Multiplaying, scripting, triggering etc are strictly forbidden.
Active admin, active playerbase (there is -always- at least a good large handful of people around even in the most off hours), regular additions and improvements and ongoing admin. created storylines and events add to the environment and immersiveness of the gameworld.
Yes, it's ptp. Trying it out is always free though. Worth a look at least, I'd say.
