Corpses should poof in 24 hours

[SamwiseRed]

"CORPSE RECOVERY. This is from a post on EQ Vault by John Smedley: "In a nutshell, the Corpse Recovery rules are as follows: Characters All Levels: If you have no items on your corpse, it will dissapear within 3 minutes. Characters Level 1-5: Corpse will dissapear within 30 minutes (real time) whether you are online or offline. Those of you wondering why this rule is in place? - There would be WAY to many bodies if we didn't do it this way. Characters Level 6 and above - Corpse will dissapear within 24 hours if the player is online (being at the character select screen STILL counts as online). Corpses will dissapear within 1 week if the player is offline." An additional note to this that you should be aware of is that being online means being logged into your account, no matter what character you are playing. Thus, if you have a character die and switch to another character for 24 hours without looting that first corpse, the corpse will disappear and you will lose all of your stuff."

you're welcome sky corpse/ac ring corpse/fungi corpse nerds

TLDR Characters Level 6 and above - Corpse will dissapear within 24 hours if the player is online (being at the character select screen STILL counts as online). Corpses will dissapear within 1 week if the player is offline.

[kaev]

It's a shame the account restriction is so trivially (and routinely) gamed here by players using one free account per character. Lore corpsers will just use additional accounts where the item isn't nodrop, and if they want it badly enough they'll go through the extra hassle to make it work even with nodrop items. Alt gearers will simply make sure their alt is on his own account so can be left in Sky.

This will be analogous to locking the barn door after the horses have been stolen, and then restocking the barn while providing free keys to any who ask.

[Catashe]

I'd be totally for this if nothing to get rid of the corpses they sit in the same places for WEEKS..

Well, it's more like making them pass a bunch of tests before they can get the free key; even if it is free, the hassle will discourage many people which is better than nothing.

Don't understimate the laziness of many people here: sure some will create, level up, and store items on alternate account characters, but plenty won't.

[Triangle]

There is no point behind making this change unless gms will no longer restore corpses. Will just add more work for the gms.

Also, and more importantly, I recall a post by a gm who said that if he were to take an extended break he would create a corpse with all of his gear, let it expire, and then ask for a corpse summon whenever he returned.

Without significant advanced notice of a change to said policy, people who relied on that post could stand to unfairly lose their gear

[Haynar]

Due to the huge unpopularity of this change.......













I will work on this next.

[Daldaen]

What this will do is two things:

1. Stop corpsing Sky keys for many. GMs don't really summon for sky corpses anyways.
2. Stop corpsing lore items. Again GMs don't really summon for lore items and now it will be way more tedious even with summoning.

Very few people take 24 gameplay hours to recover their corpse. The only time I can see this impacting anyone negatively would be people who rage quit and play another alt on that account for a few days before going back for their other character's corpse. Even then... No.

I bet almost no corpses that they currently summon right now would have rotted prematurely due to this change. The ones they summon are rage quitters who leave for weeks, people who didn't realize they had died and went away for awhile or bugged corpses.

I'm generally not a fan of degrading gameplay for :classic: (especially in this case of UI stuff, which thankfully this is not.) However, and despite my earlier mention of work-arounds involving multiple accounts, I'm all for degrading gameplay that relies on exploiting a non-classic mechanic. It's totally worth losing Sky key corpsing over this. It's just too bad the infinite supply of free accounts limits the impact.

As a Shaman who Corpses Lore items when I can (If no on wants camp or its a secondary item at camp why wouldn't you?), I say Classic is as Classic does. :D

[Freakish]

I thought about it, and at first I was like "Oh god, no!" but then I realized this would affect my sky corpse and not much else.

Also it would only affect my sky corpse if I was on for 24 hours during the week. Which is quite a bit of eq!

Second part is incorrect. every hour (or minute) online (including at char select) counts same as 7 hours (or minutes) offline. So if you on the account for more than a few minutes will poof your Sky corpse before you get back to it after a week.

Wait... What? That's not how I read this.

There are 3 timers.

Rez timer (3 hours right now)- Counts down while in-game or logged in at character select
Decay 1 (7 days right now) - Counts down regardless of whether logged in or not.
Decay 2 (24 hours if added) - Will count down whenever you are logged in or sitting at character select.

It would be a separate timer. Not one that amplifies the decay rate on the normal corpse? Or am I incorrect?

Also if we add this, let's add removal of conning corpses:

funny story related to this thread.

i was DENIED a group in KC on my mage Deckard (on blue) because of this bug report. honest to god true story. bluebies real mad about this one. bump

[Daldaen]

Lol you are deckard?

I think I sent you a tell "Stay awhile and listen" a few weeks ago. I approve of the name.

[SamwiseRed]

yea im deckard on blue :D

oh i was working on sham epic on blue when i started lagging big time as i approached the turn in NPC.

when all of a sudden

http://i.imgur.com/jLtYU2U.png

whoever this is, you are seriously an asshole for leaving all those corpses there. they were in the hallways too. ridiculous.

[Rais]

What about being killed without having any items on you? Body should decay in 3 mins.

[SamwiseRed]

not sure but these were def not 3 min corpses. they were too old to be rezzed and the guy wasnt online. unless i just missed him by a few seconds but even then no way he did all thoses corpses in 3 min. it looks like he was doing some shit with maxing his true spirit faction for sham epic with rezzes and not looting corpses.

[Rais]

No I mean in classic eq, if you had no items on you and you were killed your body decayed in 3 mins. This was one of the biggest barriers for VP and why it was so hard.

Unsure when they removed it, but 3 mins no items= no exp res due to body decay.

This is why people went to banks to get copper for CRs. Fear Wipes/res in resulted in mass exp loss due to decays. etc etc

[Erati]

confirmed 3 min rot if naked corpse

i lost 3 corpses in a very classic Naggy raid bc i kept goin back in to locate my corpse which wouldnt b where i died and then died again

each one was naked, i learned that night this lesson

<3 Turmoil warts

[botrainer]

I always thought it was retarded that corpse didnt decay faster when you were online. I alway remembered it this way...even below level 6...3 hours to res, 24 to loot if online 1 week if offline. Might be hard to code in, but it will change how PoSky is done too lol...

[Crom]

before put in alot of work and make alot of changes lets check the patch notes like:

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010221a.html
"Naked PC corpses that have experience and are above level 30 will now last 3 hours instead of 3 minutes."

changing it to 3 mins would just mean need to change it back to 3h in a few months.

could we please look for other posts that show when changes to rez timers and decay timers etc etc where made before we start working on "fixing" stuff ?

[Polyphemous]

Ridiculous. There is no link or even a date on the first post, which makes it useless for determing what is classic or not. As far as I can tell it is the OP quoting the OP. The only explanation I have for the devs jumping on this so wholeheartedly is that they get an erection from fucking with peoples' enjoyment.

Post some links with dates if you want to have a debate about what is or is not classic.

[botrainer]

Please for the love god apply this. Coding might be hard due to the fact its a char and global timer thing logged on vs off. Even if its just 24 hours when logged in and the timer slows down when logged out...it. Could stop people who are boxing lets say fungi king camp from making it much more clear or limit how many fungis they are coprsing. Which I've seen 3 or 4 of the same guys corpse waiting to off load them all to ec alts.

It's mostly just speed up the timer by x7 when logged in remove it if logged off. But this is something that has to added. It would greatly help the community and open camps that are usually unavailable due to the just corpse it themes. Thanks.

[Crom]

Or make no change at all, just do a search for lore items on account and prevent the looting of dublicate lore items, corps included.

I think everyone wants to be able to do sky every week still, and most have more then 24 members in their guilds.

You do know why OP wants this right ? to prevent corpsing of items and locking down camps for weeks.

and Dev do choose what to add to the classic feel of the server else we would have had alot more important classics fixes done a long time ago, bug reports that has been reported long before this one.

Classic server yes but with some changes to make it better for everyone.

No need to ruin Sky for everyone on the server.

[Technique]

You do know why OP wants this right ? to prevent corpsing of items and locking down camps for weeks.Who wants it and why they want it is irrelevant.

The classic corpse timer rules are well-documented. The mission statement for this server is "to create the classic feeling that many had during the early days of Everquest (http://www.project1999.com/index.php?pageid=about)". There's no reason not to emulate them, especially when posts like this one from the server chat thread on this issue (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176015) are a testament to said rules evoking that classic feeling:It was very much the case. For example I was playing on rallos zek during classic, I had saved up enough plat to buy travelers boots off the merchant for my twink wizard. I ended up dying en route to Sol A and recall getting back to my corpse with mere seconds left before it rotted with all that platinum on it.

I'll never forget that moment for the rest of my life.

I don't see anyone claiming that the consequences of the current rules transport them back to that time.

No need to ruin Sky for everyone on the server.If said rules had been implemented on p99 from the beginning, this thought would've never even crossed your mind, just as no one on Live considered Sky to be in a state of "ruination" due to the classic corpse timer.

Tugging on Sirken's apron every time you don't feel like logging in to get your corpse for a free auto-summon to EC ain't classic.

Lots of people have taken advantage of this by now, but it does need to go. Esp with Sleeper's coming up. If your corpse rots in there, there should be absolutely no GM restore.

Q: How long do I have to retrieve my body after dying before it decays?
A: For levels 1-3 you have 30 real time minutes to retrieve your body online (logged in your account), 3.5 hours offline.
Levels 4+ you have 24 hours online, one week offline.

Heres what I found -- should be pretty close to correct

Decay offline timer use same logic as 24h/7 day (online * 7)

Resurrection Timers

Level 1 - 30 minute resurrection timer
Level 2-4 - 2 hour resurrection timer
Level 5+ - 3 hour resurrection timer
Duel Corpse - 10 minute resurrection timer
Empty Corpse - Same as above

Decay Timers

Level 1 - 30 minute online/(30 minute * 7) offline decay timer
Level 2-4 - 2 hour online/(2 hour * 7) offline decay timer
Level 5+ - 24 hour online/(24 hour * 7) offline decay timer
Empty Corpse - 3 hour online/(3 hour * 7) offline decay timer
Duel Corpse - Same as above

Resurrection and Decay Timers will count down as if you are online if you are on a different character on the same account, the timer is governed by the account ID not the character ID

[Daldaen]

If we could couple this would MQing Sky Quests, that would be great. Because Alts are 80% of the corpses in PoSky, since you can't have someone else loot a no drop piece and MQ it to your alt here.

But it looks like they are working on the finishing touches of Velious. So Id hold your breath for a bit on this.

Naked level 1 newbie corpses lasting 7 days is gonna get ridiculous.

Okay I think the corpse con timers are lying.

I just made a naked level 1 newbie corpse and conned it, the timer says 7 days.

But it rotted as I was searching the forum for this thread to bump. Couldn't have been more than 5 minutes.

That's pretty close to a classic rot time but the timer shouldn't be lying to me.

Edit: I waited until the rez timer ticked down to 0, then the corpse rotted. So it rots in 7 minutes. Not classic but also better than I feared.
