It's been brought up by several people that lot's of characters have been dying rather quickly, both to monsters and other players, and that there is a rather un-enjoyable gap between average damage being dealt and the average amount of punishment a typical character can take. It's been suggested that everyone gets an HP boost on their hide.
Personally I think everything is fine, and the high-damage, vulnerability of characters and quick battles suit the feel of DnD perfectly. I also haven't noticed anyone getting terribly steamrolled on quests, and most of the time we all end up making it out of battles without a single casualty, but I will make changes if this is indeed the consensus.

I'm alright with my character's health, I would just like more spells. On quests where the monsters really start to pour in, I've only got about 8 slots for spells that do a large amount of damage, I run out of these spells very fast, and they don't even kill in one or two hits. Once I'm out of spells, I'm toast, and since I've got everything attacking me instead of the others, I've got to rely on running to ensure that my protective spells don't wear off too quickly. (And they don't even provide 100% protection, which means I've still really got to watch it)

I think the HP levels are almost perfect. If people don't want to die quickly they need to play more sturdy characters, or play smarter.
Andor has a point, perhaps there will be some items added that add spell slots. Probably rings, amulets, etc.

I think the only problem regarding hp is that most of the players are defenceless when confronting the almighty spells of a sorcerer (to be blunt, Sorcs and even casting clerics are still very OP), when stabbing a guy with 3 shields of damage, you tend to die almost instantly. It is hard to balance monsters yet those we have right now are very descent.  PS : OMGAWD SORCERER SHEEIIII- |

Except we're really not doing much player versus player conflicts, 'tis mostly plots :/
