My corpse will expire if it hasn't already

I had a fun time losing my corpse in Fear just a few hours before I normally head to bed when I was leaving town for 7 days in the morning. High stress but thankfully I was able to get it recovered on my own and makes for a good story.

Didn't actually realize the CSR would just restore your corpse. I remember trying to get to CoM back in the early 2000s and getting turned around, something see invis slapping me and then training random mobs around with my hair on fire until I eventually died with no clue where in the zone my corpse was. I never did recover that corpse, all my gear rotted, and that was the tipping point where I quit the game for 20+ years.

To be clear, on live everquest back in the day they would never restore your corpse. Only P99 does that. Very sad, takes away the danger of the world, and to some degree the community.

I think nilbog has some evidence that live CSRs may have had the ability to grant players some lowbie NO RENT gear if they lost their corpse, but thats it.

there was one instance where a bad hurricane happened, and CSR stepped in and helped players. I cant remember the name of the hurricane or what year it happened though. May search around a bit and see if I can find it.

The definitely could. Buddy of mine on live on Morell-Thule died in OT. Somehow his body glitched through the ground. I don't remember the circumstances of why they couldn't get it back, but eventually a GM did restore most of his stuff along with a suit of "Medium Shadowknight Armor" to replace what he had been wearing. He was an Iksar and the look/stats of it were on par with Dreadscale quest armor.

I don't think they could actually restore corpses directly, but they definitely did restore gear sometimes. Seemed to just be GM luck of the draw. I knew someone who lost their corpse and the GM restored some, but not all, of his items. I heard other similar stories.

But yeah, likely you were screwed.

I don't doubt highest level GM (not a normal guide) could put in some kind of manual roll back request on a player for extreme circumstances, but 100% it was not the norm to drag up a dead corpse to EC no questions asked. Corpse under world and unretrieval by /corpse was way different and they did eventually hard code it so players with corpses outside of defined zone map summoned to the entrance of zone

P99 has spoon fed the masses too long and has to introduce them to true '99-'01 levels of immersion. You must fear real death

So you're saying we should unroot dragons?
