TL;DR: Use /corpse when targeting your corpse to recover it from dangerous locations.
I've know about ever quest since 2001, but hadn't played it until recently. My perspective comes from that of a new player, but an experienced gamer of yore.
EverQuest is a product of it's time. It was released in 1999, which was 26 years ago. It was the first game of it's kind re-imagining the way we play games on a whole. It was developed by a dedicated team who designed a game that they wanted to play that didn't exist at it's time.
Now you don't lose all your inventory when you die. You leave a corpse where you died at. You can recover the corpse and get your equipment and items back.
Last night I died, I walked right into a camp of rogue dwarves because I assumed they were friendly. My corpse was a bit too deep and I died a second time. I then discovered that I could use the /corpse command to pull my corpse to a safe location. I read on the wiki previously that you could pull your corpse with /corpse but didn't recall on my first death; nor did I know how to use /corpse. But low and behold I just needed to be near my corpse (within range), target my corpse, and type /corpse; then poof my corpse was at my feet.
Unfortunately in this day and age most are programmed for instant gratification and hand holding. Man gaming was great when everything was a mystery.

I think he knows it's recoverable. He just doesn't like it. He literally said he doesn't understand why it is more fun to have to return to your corpse after a death.
