One way to make the "corpse recovery" period less painful...
If you play with the same people routinely and trust them, have the warrior
type consent you to drag their corpse. That way, the remaining members of
the party can work on getting the corpse to the zone while the city bound
runs back. Multi-tasking :-) Works well for me, but I can understand why
some might not want to use it... still an idea though.

I am afraid this might be getting out of
hand but I value your opinion and
want to continue.
Now that would be boring. Reduces the game
to an arcade game. wait that's
why I don't play Quake, Diablo, etc. I want
a death penalty. But losing an
entire night of playing, not just its gains
mind you but a sizeable chunk of
the actual playing time, is too harsh.
especially when its just because you
had the misfortune to zone into a 4 griffene
train on the bridge in N
karana. My game play two nights ago was
literally. Awake in east Karana.
Zone into N Karana. Never even appear
there, just zoned for 6 minutes.
Appeared in Halas. Run to N Karana to get
my body whcih had both my drums
on it since I was doing corpse retrieval at
the time anyhow. Run to Qeynos,
my original destination. Camp. Wow, that
was fun.
I don't disagree with you too often Michael,
you hae a good perspective on
most things I think. On this though i think
you are missing the real
penalty a lot of us pay for dying. Death =
no playing. This rule applies
to 90% of the people I personally know who
play during at least 50% of their
playing sessions. That's proabably a
defining reason why only one person I
personally know is over 24th level. He made
30 while on a two week vacation
with a broken leg. He is still at 30 and
hating his 'Hell' level big time
now that he can't play any more than the
rest of us and can't group with us.

i've never played, but i heard in quake 2 if
you die you respawn right away
in the same area and can start killing again
with absolutely no downtime or
zoning.
