Nothing broken: that's the way /consent has always worked. When you have
more than one corpse, /consent only applies to the most recent one.

So if you had looted your second corpse, you could then have /consented your
friend again so he could get the first corpse.

Not strange, just the way /consent has always worked when somebody has more
than two corpses. /Consent only applies to the corpse from your last death;
it doesn't affect any older corpses you may have.

"every day people are dragging multiple corpses is a day we commit crimes against classichood" -A true classic EQ enthusiast

Post below refers to looting others corpses. Not sure how reliable this is as that was gone in vanilla I'm pretty sure.

"Not only will this stop looting it will also stop the consent change of
hands of some items. not sure no drop can be picked up this way or not. they
might have fixed it before this, but you used to be able to leave those
items on a corpse and consent someone else to have them."

When you /consent someone it will give them the ability to drag all of your corpses.

Good find! So this is more of an item for the next green server.
