As a more serious post than my last, I am actually against the idea of a "Game Over" screen but I do agree the game needs more than just the client closing or log-out screen upon death.
Perhaps when you die your spirit (aka the little floating ball you begin as) leaves your body and you end up in some otherworldly maze of some sort which you must navigate back to the character creation room where you can then inherit (maybe?) or simply recreate completely.
