Should be interesting to see if the broader MMO/retro games community picks this up as one of their own, or if it remains in an everquest area.

Would be cool to see runescape and DOC and other old school MMO fans united.

I see the future:

Patch Notes 3/16/2027:
...
A new guild has emerged in the local towns, the Conjurers of Fate have appeared. Visit them so they can assist you in retrieving specific items off your corpse... But be prepared to pay the price.
...
People will praise it, then eventually realize how water downed the world has become where danger and loss are just mere words and not threats.

P99 has this same sickness. Guides should NEVER summon decayrd corpses to EC. Bring back real death

At the very least, there ought to be a quest associated with the reward of having one's decayed corpse returned to the world.

Give an inch and they will take a mile. Teachers let you hand in homework late with no penalty and take open book tests. We can't keep pandering to this generation of softies. It's time for 99 to '01 because that is what we are here for

naw, it's just bad game design.

pve mmorpgs aren't built around the concept of full corpse loss on a timer their endless treadmills by design and putting the onus on a single class mechanic like necro summon is also bad.

you can count on one hand with fingers left over the amount of high concept experimental shit like that has actually worked in the history of this genre and that's with devs actually thinking about the problem and actually trying to do it and they still failed, something EQ devs didn't even have time really to think about or make work

they made a cobbled together fantasy theme park and shipped it

the only time ive seen that stuff actually work is in low fantasy pvp games where it's like oh no i lost a full suit of platemail and a +1 sword "oh well" or oh no i lost my ship in eve online that's a bit different than losing a decade worth of raid loot because you didn't log in for a week
