I came up with the following list, included in 
http://www.mxac.com.au/drt/Choice2.htm.

- Loss of time (lose equipment = money = time)
- Delay in playing (sit and wait to heal)
- Loss of an enjoyable experience (make a mistake, get teleported to the 
back of beyond, and spend an hour walking back)
- Loss of content (make a mistake, and no longer able to access Dungeon X)
- Loss of friendships (not exactly part of the official game design, but a 
possibility in a MMORPG)
