Res timer = 3 hours... classic?

[oldhead]

A normal player corpse can be resurrected only within the first 3 hours after death. This timer only ticks if the player (or any player on account?) is online.

I do not remember it being like this in classic.

I can recall letting my corpse sit at zone lines (as long as it had an item left on it) and going about my business grouping or whatever while I waited for a cleric to show up sometimes hours or even a day later.

I do not recall any urgency regarding res timers. People would leave low value items on the corpse just in case they never got a res and it did rot.
