Corpse timers/Res timers

[Aeolwind]

Original rez timer was 2 hours, it was changed later due to the size of the world in I believe Luclin.

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.

This is from page 20 of the Kunark (I know, but it's the earliest one I still have) manual.

--------------------------------------
IMPORTANT! If your character dies with valuable items in inventory, don't exit the game until you've recovered everything from your corpse. Your body only survives for so long, so if you wait, the body may disappear before you find it. The time varies, depending on your character's level and whether you're logged into the game or not.

If you're still in the game ...
Level 1 = 1 hour Level 2 = 8 hours Level 6+ = 7 days

If you're not logged into the game ...
Level 1 = 30 minutes Level 2-3 = 2 hours Level 4+ = 24 hours

If you don't have any items (regardless of whether you're in the game or not) ...
Level 1 = 30 minutes Level 2-3 = 2 hours Level 4+ = 8 hours

Ya, I know this doesn't have anything about res, but it's all I have.

didn't bother to read it all.. but essentially it was 7 day rotting.. 2 hours rezz period.. 3 hours after kunark..

The following changes have been implemented with the latest patch, most
importantly, changes to corpse resurrection. It should be noted that
all corpses generated previous to this patch may not be resurrected,
however, all corpses generated from this point forward may be
resurrected with the changes listed below applying.

- Corpses that are older than 2 hours cannot be resurrected.
- Corpses that are produced from a duel cannot be resurrected after 10
minutes.

*Resurrection*

Previously, players had to be resurrected within two hours after death
in order to receive any experience back as part of the resurrection.
Due to the increased size and difficulty associated with Kunark zones,
we've raised this limit from two hours to three. This should assist
players and make it easier for them to obtain an experience-returning
resurrection within the time limit.

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...
