Game Mechanics: Death+WC Cap

[Rygar]

For what it's worth, I did find that EQ put in a feature the tried to prevent deaths like this from occurring:

[Quote from original post:8)Many times if you are hit while zoning, you can pop up into the same zone you were zoning from, with full health, at usually loc 0,0. I have had this happen to me in Mistmoore and Crushbone multiple times.]

You're actually put back at the last save-point. It's a feature to handle cases where you are killed between the time that your client thinks you start zoning and the time that the zoneserver gets the message that you are zoning. It's one of the downsides of internet latency. The "pop back at savepoint" is a second chance to get out of the zone. The other option, and some will remember when this was in, was to leave your dead corpse behind the zoneline.

So perhaps indeed a fix for this issue could be 'classic'. It may not put you in WC, but maybe your 'last save point' (unsure what that means really) or at the zone 'safe spot'.
