Bump for classic corpse rot times on Green.

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."

Naked level 1 newbie corpses lasting 7 days is gonna get ridiculous.

Okay I think the corpse con timers are lying.

I just made a naked level 1 newbie corpse and conned it, the timer says 7 days.

But it rotted as I was searching the forum for this thread to bump. Couldn't have been more than 5 minutes.

That's pretty close to a classic rot time but the timer shouldn't be lying to me.

Edit: I waited until the rez timer ticked down to 0, then the corpse rotted. So it rots in 7 minutes. Not classic but also better than I feared.

We shouldn't GM summon/restore corpses on Green

GM on live would never assist with planar corpse rots etc

Hi. Please make corpses rot per classic so that I no longer feel the urge to keep corpsed keys and lore items all over. Much obliged.

And the fact that red server are pushing for this change has no pvp motivs ?
Like force another guild to conseed or accept losing thier corps ?

there are better ways of wining in pvp then to have other teams corpses rot...

The fact is that r99's PNP contains a "loot 'n' scoot" clause entitling the defeated to reclaim their corpses without interference by the victors, so your conjecture is wrong.

How is that any different than now? Let's just exclude the 2nd half of your statement and assume that no one is going to let their corpses rot over LNS.

umm last time I checked "loot 'n' scoot" = give up, run away with tail between legs, concede.. etc etc

I think you need to quiet down before you hurt yourself.
