Disabled (when you get to 0 HP): #
- 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): #
- 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.
- Once you reach -10 hp, you are dead.
Dead (when you get down to -10 HP): #
- 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: #
- 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: #
- The Fugue Plane is where lost souls are sent, once their physical body dies.
- 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).
- 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: #
- Your Corpse can be taken by anyone (even hostile players).
- 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.
- 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.
- When the carrier drops your corpse, it is created at the drop location, and its new location is saved on the database.
- 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).
- 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).
- 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:
- A dead character can resurrect itself without external help, or can be remotely resurrected too.
- Some resurrection options required XP only, some require XP + Gold, and some require XP + Boss Tokens
- Each XP option is unique and has its own XP % charge
- 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: #
- Default Self-Resurrection: 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.

Balm of True Resurrection: #
- The Balm of True Resurrection is a special item to perform cheap and remote resurrections.
- The item can be purchased in any faction main temple, and elsewhere too.
- The item has unlimited uses, so once purchased, you don’t need to purchase it again with that character.
- This item can perform Corpse Resurrections and No-Corpse Resurrections.
- If used against a player corpse, it will perform the Balm of True Resurrection on corpse, if used on yourself, it will perform the Balm of True Resurrection no-corpse.
- Each use of the Balm of True Resurrection required 10k Gold for the ritual, either it will be used with or without a player corpse. The Gold cost is charged to the character being resurrected.
- Only some specific classes at some specific levels are able to perform the ritual with this item. A character needs to have: at least 15 Cleric levels, or 21 Paladin levels, or 40 Druid levels.
