Death system is basically working now since 1.2.
Player dies and goes to a forest that we give little explanation about. The reason is, we don't want to define for people what death is to them. Is this a dream world for you character while it's in it's body? Is this an out of body experience? You decide. I like leaving death as a small amount of mystery.
While on this plane a few things happen. First, a corpse with your name and description is dropped where you died. Second, you wake up in this world all ghostly. And third, you get hit with a timer that disallows respawning for 3 minutes. Should the server crash or something then you will be only able to go to this death world from the OOC room.
Within the death area is a mysterious figure who doesn't speak. From here you can respawn back to your respawn location or, you can Validate your corpse. The corpse validation is because of the possibility that something crazy could happen to your body. Maybe it gets destroyed on accident or something worse. This will make sure you always have a body where you died. So for most people, this will do nothing.
Players can use res spells and scrolls on this dead body we place at your death and it will return the player to life at that location.
Future Plans and Bugs
* Corpse Dragging
Currently, for unknown reasons, the onused script for bodies is not firing. I put in code for people to be able to carry a body to a church to have it ressed or simply move it. When you click the body, nothing happens for unknown reasons. As soon as I can resolve this I will.
* Corpse Inventory
I plan to make a system where somehow people on this plane can transfer items to their body. One of the biggest requests I see as a DM is "Can you give this guy a res scroll from my inventory so he can res my body?" I'd like to automate that. I'd also like to have good RP from people where someone kills you and they don't gotta OOC res you to get items from you. "I killed this guy to take the object of immense power, can you res him so he can barter?" Less work for DM's == Better
