Res timer = 3 hours... classic?

[oldhead]

A normal player corpse can be resurrected only within the first 3 hours after death. This timer only ticks if the player (or any player on account?) is online.

I do not remember it being like this in classic.

I can recall letting my corpse sit at zone lines (as long as it had an item left on it) and going about my business grouping or whatever while I waited for a cleric to show up sometimes hours or even a day later.

I do not recall any urgency regarding res timers. People would leave low value items on the corpse just in case they never got a res and it did rot.

at what point in the timeline do you recall this? Because I recall in classic corpses only lasting 24 hours before they completely rotted. (Yes, in classic everquest your corpse was gone after 24 hours)

"CORPSE RECOVERY. This is from a post on EQ Vault by John Smedley: "In a nutshell, the Corpse Recovery rules are as follows: Characters All Levels: If you have no items on your corpse, it will dissapear within 3 minutes. Characters Level 1-5: Corpse will dissapear within 30 minutes (real time) whether you are online or offline. Those of you wondering why this rule is in place? - There would be WAY to many bodies if we didn't do it this way. Characters Level 6 and above - Corpse will dissapear within 24 hours if the player is online (being at the character select screen STILL counts as online). Corpses will dissapear within 1 week if the player is offline." An additional note to this that you should be aware of is that being online means being logged into your account, no matter what character you are playing. Thus, if you have a character die and switch to another character for 24 hours without looting that first corpse, the corpse will disappear and you will lose all of your stuff."

I agree, Character select screen or playing characters on the account count towards xp res timer. You essentially cannot stay at character select or play a char on the same account without the timer going down.
