Also, logging to a different character I'm pretty sure paused the timer? I was never in a situation of perma-corpse loss...I was a cleric so my rez timer never even got close to running out lol.

pretty sure the timer kept counting if you were logged into any character on the account

Could def be, I remember logging into other characters once, but I can't remember if it was on my druid on my other account or not.

I believe the timer still counted down even at the character select screen.

You could def log to the old chat server though. We rescued a raid in fear one night and they had a chat room going out there.

i agree with that for sure. i remember logging to alts during a sebilis wipe or something, until a logged out cleric was back in and ready to res. but i dont think we were ever concerned with res timers there. luckily we never had a disaster in pof/poh or somewhere that is really hard to recover.

lets make this interesting and put a 30 minute timer on it...

I remember that being true. Server chat was fine. Character select or any other character would run the timer.

I say we install a 5 minute rez timer and 30 minute corpse rot timer.

Could you imagine the trains?

"OMG my corpse is rotting in 2 minutes!" *runs from SolB zoneline to Giants camp*

Erm, but back on topic... as far back as I remember, it was 7 days rot time. And rez/rot timers ticked while logged in anywhere past server select screen, as others have said. I believe corpses rotted while logged in or not. Not sure on rez timers at different levels, though.

Taken from EQmac:

The Resurrection timer for any corpse is 3 hours of online time. Online time includes any time spent on any character on the account in question, any time spent on any character on the account in question, any time spent at the character select screen, or any time spent waiting in chat.

Corpse could be revived at any time, even if it had been revived before.

7 days for corpse decay is confirmed for sure! Players under lvl 6 had 30 minute corpses.

Corpses below level 6 lasted for 30 minutes. 6 and beyond was a normal corpse. I remember the race.

Rez time was 2 hours until I think Luclin. It might have been near end Velioius but that time frame is very blurry.

This is spot on for classic. It was 2 hour rez timer, and as Reiker? I think? stated after the first rez you could be revived unlimited times untill the corpse rotted or was fully looted. But I dont think it was limited to just revive, clerics would use their sprinklers for this as well, you just wouldnt be granted the exp of course.

The 7 day online timer(account not character) is also correct.
