I think nilbog has some evidence that live CSRs may have had the ability to grant players some lowbie NO RENT gear if they lost their corpse, but thats it.
I don't think they could actually restore corpses directly, but they definitely did restore gear sometimes. Seemed to just be GM luck of the draw. I knew someone who lost their corpse and the GM restored some, but not all, of his items. I heard other similar stories.

But yeah, likely you were screwed.

I don't doubt highest level GM (not a normal guide) could put in some kind of manual roll back request on a player for extreme circumstances, but 100% it was not the norm to drag up a dead corpse to EC no questions asked. Corpse under world and unretrieval by /corpse was way different and they did eventually hard code it so players with corpses outside of defined zone map summoned to the entrance of zone

P99 has spoon fed the masses too long and has to introduce them to true '99-'01 levels of immersion. You must fear real death

So you're saying we should unroot dragons?
