So if we conclude that a non-classic feature has been horribly exploited to allow accomplishing much that was not possible in classic, we need to give a warning first?

What next? Start posting lists of accounts flagged for RMT, that way ppl know not to buy stuff from them for cash?

Exploit is exploit. There is no requirement to warn before fixing bugs or exploits.

Thanks for your concern for helping those abusing this though.

Plenty of people are currently playing the game in its 'as is' state, and don't have memories of old retail experience to draw upon to know the difference if something is bugged or not. My concern was for the people who found the server through Twitch streams or the like - not for the people who are abusing the the situation as an exploit for personal game.

Thank you for jumping the conclusion you made about me as a person though.

Adjusting the corpse timer rules isn't fixing this "exploit", because it won't change the fact that corpses could still be used to store lore/norent items.

And sure, giving advance notice of a rule change isn't required, but it's the responsible thing to do when the change has the potential to affect even those players who aren't "exploiting" the feature.

It will probably add a new corpse timer. Geesh. So when it goes out, existing corpses will use old rules. And new corpses get new ones.

That sounds about what I remember.

So its currently 3 hours... they are going to fix that and at the same time make corpses rot faster. Not sure why 1 week was ever thought to be classic. I always thought it was 3 days to rot.

Can we get a date confirmation of this? Because during the 10 years that I played the game on live this was never the case.

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'm glad I completed all my sky quests. Hmm...will people port up to sky every day to corpse or will people just do fresh clears every time?

Just make one necro hold his keys, make it a guild account or something :P Lots of corpse summoning, though, and sky stones :P

On this server...

People will just leave certain characters in sky permanently. Keys don't poof if you camp in sky.

Like many of you have SEB characters or VP characters or Naggy/Vox characters.

"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."

Link your source nerd.
