Subject: RE: Corpse Recoveries


I can see both sides of the point here. I usually want to help whenever I
can and admit I have even foolishly helped someone get their corpse from the
heart of the Ogre Camp. I didn't die, but I probably should have. I'm sure
many people were amazed who saw this lone bard racing across W Karana with 8
or so ogres in tow. I let them take a rest stop at guard tower number two
while I raced on to the zone. I imagine they made short work of the poor
guards there, but hey that's why they get hazard pay! Hopefully they paused
at tower one or their way as well, 'cause after I zoned back in from Q Hills
the remains of their angry band were meandering back towards the camp. Its
amazing how easy it is to loot a body in the middle of a now empty ogre
camp, no one goes near the place to bother you!

Exactly as you did. There's no bank there to store
your items in. There's absolutely NO reason for you
to have put yourself in jeopardy like that. If it
was a friend, I would have gone to Qeynos, banked my
stuff and came back - but for someone you just know
by seeing occasionally, and you were getting ready
to log out? "Best wishes.."

Two corpses are worse than one.

Personally, I wouldn't even bother to ask someone to
help me retrieve my corpse in a horribly dangerous
situation like that. When I died in the Ogre camp
I asked for help of higher level characters and told
them what I needed help with so that they knew before
even answering. Even when I found one willing to help,
they backed out when he saw just how many Ogre's were
there. I thanked him and let him go. No use making
him die too.
