Death & Respawning

Death on EFU has serious consequences:

• Respawning removes 1/3 total experience.
• Raise Dead removes 1/6 total experience.
• Resurrection removes 1/9 total experience.

Characters that have died from a PvP action cannot respawn, but can only be raised. Consult a DM if you feel that you have been griefed.

However – the calculated XP loss will not take into account some specially DM granted Permanent XP, for example: John Keats has 15,000 XP, out of which 5,000 has been awarded by a DM in the form of special permanent XP. He dies and respawns – the total XP loss will be 1/3 x (15,000 – 5,000) = 3,333 XP

If death experience loss drops you below your current level, you will lose that level.

PCs that are level 5 and below that respawn to the mausoleum preserve their equipment, but levels 6+ drop the equipment where they died.

If you die alone, it's fully permitted to get a DM for help (i.e. ask a DM to clear the spawns from your corpse before respawning).

Death on EFU is pretty common as the setting itself can be unforgivable. We get attached to our characters and sometimes dying in a really stupid way or killed in PvP can make one want to "rage-quit". It's good practice to step away for a while, take a breath and look at the situation calmly.

Especially with PvP deaths, the 'receiving' end may not be fully aware of the plot-reasons behind it. If in doubt, best consult a DM.

Edited Note: Characters now receive a portion of any XP lost from a death in the form of advancement XP.
