Corpse timers/Res timers

[Ektar]

forgot to say I quoted this dude because he said things right I just wanted to make it pithy and add a thing or two.

My friend's corpse rotted while he was offline in classic. I'm pretty sure it lasted for 1 week, and he was too lazy to log on to get it.

thank you for your input.

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

At low levels, possibly below level 10, corpses last for 30 minutes, and after that will decay. At higher levels, a corpse will not decay until 7 real life days have expired, and it will be rezzable for 3 playing hours.

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.

corpse decay 7 days, online rez time 3 hours or offline 24 hours wich ever came first, online time also counted down if you were on any character of the same account ... thats all i can remember >< i dont know when it got changed to that ... but it was definatly before velious

oh and yeah aeolwind is right before lvl 6 was horrible due to 30 min corpse decay

[Aeolwind]

Original rez timer was 2 hours, it was changed later due to the size of the world in I believe Luclin.

Also, logging to a different character I'm pretty sure paused the timer? I was never in a situation of perma-corpse loss...I was a cleric so my rez timer never even got close to running out lol.
