Right. Because there's a long line of clerics waiting to rez all of those idiots, right?

[Poeskas]

That's their problem. They should have to deal with it like we did back in the day imo. And, unfortunately, the spam is everyone else's inconvenience

Do you see the logical fallacy here? You're conceding that there's not a long line of clerics waiting to rezz people, so it begs the question of why people leave a half-dozen corpses lying around if odds are against them getting rezzed anyway.

It really does get kind of silly when you go into Mistmoore and the entrance ramp is barely visible. Or you go into Freeport and people get creative with corpse art and it lasts a week. Or GMs sit in the EC tunnel and see "Fatcock******'s corpse" and don't do anything about it.

I agree whole-heartedly, frefaln. This custom rule was, as i understand, originally implemented when the server's population was small and there weren't many clerics around. The server's current population is close to the way it was during classic era. Imo it's high-time we retracted this rule and made it so that corpses disappear at the rate they should..

One of the priority concerns for source development is accurate corpse and res timers as per classic. Not my area of expertise, but I don't think its easy. We need these fixed for Plane of Sky onward.

Obviously you've reported this? Or just wanted to troll GMs in here? You are not helping this thread.

There is no custom rule that is being used. It's just a non-functional corpse timer mechanic. If I misunderstood what this meant, please link me what you're talking about.
