Death & Resurrection System

Disabled (when you get to 0 HP): #

  1. When a player takes damage that reduces them to 0 hp, they are Disabled. While disabled, a player receives a 80% movement penalty and is cursed with -5 points to all statistics and saves for 1 round.

Dying (when you get from -1 to -9 HP): #

  1. Once a round (6 seconds) there is a 20% chance that you will automatically Stabilize. If you do, you stop bleeding, if not, you take 1 point of damage.
  2. Once you reach -10 hp, you are dead.

Dead (when you get down to -10 HP): #

  1. You get one automatic roll to see if your deity chooses to notice your passing and resurrect you. There is a 10% chance this will happen, +1% each 4 levels. If not, you are off to the Fugue Plane. When you die, your physical player corpse is created in the location of your death.

Deities: #

  1. We currently don’t have an advanced deities system. We will have one, but not for now. You can use any deity name on your character to activate the deity save on death.

The Fugue Plane: #

  1. The Fugue Plane is where lost souls are sent, once their physical body dies.
  2. Once on the Fugue Plane, you are bound to that area until you decide what kind of Resurrection you want to take (see below for Resurrection Options). 
  3. Or you can wait for help to be resurrected by someone else alive (Remote Resurrection), or talk to the Fugue Guardian and have a Self-Resurrection.

While you are in the Fugue Plane: #

  1. Your Corpse can be taken by anyone (even hostile players).
  2. The weight of the corpse will be the total weight of its owner, inventory included! When someone takes your corpse, that character is saved as “carrier” for that corpse.
  3. If you try to use your Player Menu to ask for a resurrection and if your corpse is being carried by someone, you will be notified. If the carrier is in the same party, you’ll be told the carrier’s name and current area, if not, you will just know that the corpse is being carried.
  4. When the carrier drops your corpse, it is created at the drop location, and its new location is saved on the database.
  5. On server resets (or crashes), your player corpse will reappear where you died, or if it was moved by someone, where it was placed last (note: the corpse is generated only when the dead character logs back in after a reset/crash).
  6. A corpse is dropped if the carrier logs out, or dies! A corpse is dropped if the carrier tries to enter an instanced area (like dungeons).
  7. Only party members can resurrect you, so do not be afraid about possible griefing.

Resurrection Options #

There are several ways to resurrect a dead character:

  1. A dead character can resurrect itself without external help, or can be remotely resurrected too.
  2. Some resurrection options required XP only, some require XP + Gold, and some require XP + Boss Tokens
  3. Each XP option is unique and has its own XP % charge
  4. Regardless of the XP option chosen, there are cases where you can acquire some XP Debit. Check the XP Debit page for more details.

Fugue Plane – Self Resurrection options: #

  1. Default Penalty (from self resurrection in Fugue Plane): takes n% XP only.
    • The XP penalty for this option scales with character level, making it good at lower levels, but there are better alternatives at higher levels.
    • The penalty starts at 0% from level 1 up to level 4. From level 5 it becomes 1%, incrementing by 1% each 4 levels, up to 9% at character level 40.
  2. Gold Self-Resurrection: takes up to 3% (if the default penalty is lower, that amount will be used), and 10k gold per character level. Available from character level 5.
  3. Boss Tokens Self-Resurrection A: takes up to 2% (if the default penalty is lower, that amount will be used), XP and 1 Boss Token each 2 character levels. Available from character level 20.
  4. Boss Tokens Self-Resurrection B: takes up to 1% (if the default penalty is lower, that amount will be used), XP and 1 Boss Token each 1 character level. Available from character level 20.

Other players can remotely resurrect you in different ways. We split these ways in 2 categories: Resurrections with corpse, and Resurrections without corpse.

Remote Resurrections WITHOUT a player corpse: #

  1. Temple Resurrection: takes up to 3% (if the default penalty is lower, that amount will be used), of the XP of the character being resurrected, + 40k gold from the character being resurrected.
    • Almost every temple cleric NPC can perform this resurrection.
    • Simply enter a temple, and speak with its cleric. 
    • The character is selected from a list of dead players that are currently on the Fugue Plane.
  2. Balm of True Resurrection no corpse: takes up to 3% (if the default penalty is lower, that amount will be used), of the XP of the character being resurrected, and 10k gold from the character being resurrected.
