It's been a long time, but I believe this is one of those out-of-era things which has been known from P99's earliest days, but left in so as to reduce petition rate and staff workload, similar to item links. I recall previous discussion about it, at least, although I can't remember exactly when.

This was classic, but I remember characters below level 5 would always respawn with 5 food / drink and a newbie weapon as a counter balance to the quickrot corpses... right? Was that something added in later or a false memory?
