Dying is like.. trying to imagine what was life before you were born. you cant because consciousness blocks it. Once you die its lights out because its been like.. what.. 3000 years worth of religion and stuff? still no ghosts or proof of afterlife.

Get everquest out of your system now bro or else.. nothing I guess. if you die while playing itll only matter to who finds your corpse

After you die I think the most likely scenario is that you just begin life again as some other lifeform.

The conditions after you die are the same as they were before you were born, relative to "you". So unless you believe in an intangible "soul" that is somehow permanently tethered to your body after death, you'll probably just pop back into some first-person existence, maybe as another person, or some random deer or fly or some random alien on another planet.

This is both the horror and the wonder of being stuck looking out the same set of eyes until you die. It's the same for random plankton in the ocean, but as humans we get to actually contemplate it.

Well if not cremated you do become the life forms involved in decomposition, soil, plants, etc.

Even getting ashed you’re likely to eventually rejoin the food chain somehow, else spend eternity as dust.

But yeah, as a distinct entity one life jah.

This is a decent enough theory. Honestly at this point we know so little about the universe anything could be possible, even a place called heaven. If anything, Earth has shown that once a planet is capable of harboring life, it will. I too like to believe in a type of reincarnation, but not one where you just become another person or creature here on this planet in this timeline.

That sounds great until you realize you'll be stuck with twinks and level 60s griefing you for eternity.

Purgatory would be coming back as Fippy Darkpaw over and over for eternity

Fippy rarely does make it to the South Qeynos zoneline though.

I subscribe to the collective soul theory or something lkke it. I think Andy Weir outlined it well in The Egg, iirc. Every thing we do to other people we will experience as those people.

if you use 'exist' in the place of 'experience', sounds like memories.

Could be. A friend believes she has lived at least two or three other lives. Always a woman, always drowns. She avoids water. I say it's why she should learn to swim.
