I am almost positive that a corpse's duration was variable by level, at least a little:

Also to confirm, the rez window is 3 hours of in-game time. If you log out of your account (not just your character), the timer was paused.
But take note of the date that info was written. 2002. They made that change later in the game, if I'm not mistaken. I seem to remember lowbie corpses sticking around just as long as every other corpse. I also seem to remember the change being made to prevent people from making giant stacks of lvl one corpses in various places.

Plus, when they made that change, it didn't quite take as long to level through the first ten levels as it did at the beginning.

Corpses below level 6 lasted for 30 minutes. 6 and beyond was a normal corpse. I remember the race.

Rez time was 2 hours until I think Luclin. It might have been near end Velioius but that time frame is very blurry.

This is spot on for classic. It was 2 hour rez timer, and as Reiker? I think? stated after the first rez you could be revived unlimited times untill the corpse rotted or was fully looted. But I dont think it was limited to just revive, clerics would use their sprinklers for this as well, you just wouldnt be granted the exp of course.

The 7 day online timer(account not character) is also correct.

From the patch notes of Sept 29, 1999

Corpses that are older than 2 hours cannot be resurrected.
Corpses that are produced from a duel cannot be resurrected after 10 minutes.

From the patch notes of June 22, 2000

Previously, players had to be resurrected within two hours after death in order to receive any experience back as part of the resurrection. Due to the increased size and difficulty associated with Kunark zones, we've raised this limit from two hours to three. This should assist players and make it easier for them to obtain an experience-returning resurrection within the time limit.

From the patch notes of July 19, 2000

Resurrection:

The resurrection confirmation box will now report the name of the person casting the spell as well as what spell they are casting. Furthermore, experience will not be "removed" from your corpse until you accept the resurrection by choosing YES. Previously, any resurrection spell, if declined, would cause the experience to be unrecoverable.

So...

Resurrections:
Res timer was 2 hours, became 3 hours during Kunark. Corpses resulting from duels had a 10 min res timer. These time limits only counted down while the account was on character select or logged in with any character. The first xp res you took removed the xp on the corpse. Future resses were possible (with any res effect or spell) up through 2 hours (or 3 hours or 10 min as appropriate), but no more xp return. Basically, the amount of xp lost on death would be stored on the corpse. The first xp res that was accepted authorized a return to the character of a certain % of this xp (based on the spell or effect). At the same time, the corpse lost all the xp stored on it. Future res spells still within the res timer would work, there would just be no xp to return a % of.

Corpses:
Level 1-6, 30 min, online or offline
Level 7+, 24 hours online (char select or any character on the account logged in) or 7 days offline, whichever came first as long as there was an item on it. If there was no coin or item on a corpse, 30 min.
