I think (Like in Ultima online) You should turn into a ghost and have to find a healer( Healers in a town or wandering ones ) So you can run back if you need to And slowly youre body should decay.

I personally am not too fond of that method (Wowcraft did the same, right?) - it requires you to do too much walking and spend too much time not killing. I want stuff to bleed and innocent creatures to suffer!

i hate the item drop on death method...
like in Lineage 2:
omg, we die! *die*
fuck, my sword dropped! DAMN!
*respawn in the city*
*run run run*

i hate it!

How about spawn gates in each town u die you spawn where u last marked.

Also u drop a item do to your rep the less rep u have the less luck u have and item drops also

Ur body goes tru decays 3 decay stages
1st stage u can see full body u cant loot 3min 30sec to loot
2nd stage ur body becomes bones and its a skeleton 1min till u can clean loot (u can loot now but it will say Looted by item u cant trade it to anyone else only give it to owner also u lose rep if u loot u might become criminal and cant enter good town )
3rd stage ur body totaly gone everything u had in backapack droped
on floor u can clean loot without losing rep.

It balances stuff out like Life of Pking, Making a choise (not loot or go perm and lose rep ) cant sell or trade the item only give it back to the person u took it from.

I say 3 types of death

Corpse Death when you die a crpse tile appears underneath you

Your a ghost you spawn in a town and cant talk or attack. Run to your body and boom your alive again.

2nd. Respawn in a town etc after a few seconds or maybe it asks you

Respawn?
Yes No

3rd. You respawn where you died after a time of the creators choosing. Perhaps have no respawn on spot areas where you go back to town no matter what heh.

i think there should be a wait time no matter what. Cause i definetly think there should be restrictions on party's for instance a lvl 80 cant party with a level 1. But what if a high level wants to help a noob and the noob dies. he should be able to rev him no matter what. i also think there should be ways to stop item loss and exp loss it shouldnt just be something that always happens if u die no matter what. for instance items that save your items and exp if you die and stuff .

I think just have a countdown timer until you resurrect, if you're on your body you respawn with your stuff. If not you can run to safety then run back to get your body. The more you die in a period of time the more the timer goes up, of course you can still be resurrected by traditional methods. *swigs whiskey*

What i was thinking of doing for my game, is you have a little machine you carry around (Apocalytpic Futuristic-Fantasy) that kinda protects you and runs off of your spirit energy. And when you die, it locks all your belongings and body up in a small barrier(metaphorically, you won't see it). And once it's little battery runs out, your items become free game. And the machine is upgradable and becomes stronger as you do, so that the battery lasts longer too. I'm probably also gonna make little one-shot items that allow you to teleport to your death-site that will be hard to find.
But yah, i defenitley prefer the give a bit of time for you to come back method. It's much more fair. That way someone isn't like "Crap, i just lost that weapon i spent 3 months saving up for!".

the RO method is the best because you can choose wether to respawn or wait for someone to ressurect you.

Silkroad Online does the same, you can ressurect at your set spawn point or wait for someone to resurect you. Also, they have a two versions of pvp, the standard one, where when you die you die and a "friendly" pvp, where a player wears a cape and others with capes can attack them, then when a player dies they can ressurect right were they die.

No you think it is
Remember people like to make things differently than RO.

Fine give me an example of one that people actually like.

I like Diablo II's method, where you die, your corpse is dropped, then you are back at town. Then you can just run up to your corpse, grab it, and everything is back where it used to be. Made it so if you prepared for death, then it wasn't that big of a deal, but if you were unprepared, then you're screwed.

Yeah I think I love d2 becouse of how good it was all worked. I wish I had my cdkey for my game but my evil sisters threw it away without reading what it was and I was not about to dive into the dumpster (though now that does not sound to bad for it) .
