Game Mechanics: Can't revive with time left on corpse.

[Droxx]

Had this happen while in City of Mist.

Dueled PC_01
He has to relog.
PC logs back in (after corpse would have expired had he stayed on)
Rez timer is still available on corpse.
Cast rez 5x getting "Unable to restore, later attempt blah blah" each time.

It seems revive timer was running while he was offline?

Situation seems really vague but I can't think of a better way to explain it at the moment.

Timers should run, if you are logged in to the server. If you are on a different character, the timer should tick away on the corpse you are not logged in to. I think it even ticks if you are sitting at the char select screen. I always hated that about rez timers on live too.

Well he wasn't logged into the server as far as I know, and the timer on the corpse was still good as determined by /con'ing it.

If I'm reading this correctly. It was a duel death body. They only have a 10 min timer till you cant res them again. Sounds like between zoning after death,camping,re loading toon and getting the res took more than 10 mins.
It sucks but zoning and loading eq takes more time than most people think. I've done it myself

I understand this. Its kind of hard to explain. I understand the short rez timer. He was not logged into the server for the full rez timer delay. He was /dueled, logged off, and logged back in with ~3 mins left on the rez timer. I still could not rez him.
