Last night i died in Cordor.
As i waited for the timing to end, i noticed my body was picked up. I didnt know if it was picked up by the aggressor or a bystander....could be either one. I was up to return to live and continue my rp. Then i received the word that my body left server.
That was the moment i got lost. I mean...i dont know if my body is still being rescued. I dont know what happens when my body gets raised on the other server...not even know if i want to be ressed. So i left the undead world by the mechanical means as i had no way to communicate to whoever got my body
Some minutes AFTER i ressed, i got the message that my body was placed in the ground and i guess someone may have tried to ressurrect me but i already got ressed by my own means...so it was an opportunity for rp lost.
Simple sugestion:
If someone picks up my body, give me as a dead man the information of who it is so i can communicate oocly to know if i should wait or not.

Re: More information on death system
I'm going to give a VERY cautious 'Yes' on this.
The thing is in theory this is a great idea. In practice I worry about abuses. People nagging the person carrying their body about being raised, or complaining if it was pvp - though both of these can be fixed with -notells. There's also the risk of ooc collusion and metagaming
'Quick, Bob Drow has my corpse! Gank him and you get me too!'
I'm going to have faith that the player base (at least for the most part) wouldn't do this however and approve. But if and when t his is implemented, it will probably be on a trial period, and might be removed if we do see such behavior.

This too shall pass.
(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

Re: More information on death system
Body is now destroyed on state change if a person is no longer dead.
Todo:
Add message saying which server a wielder swapped to, so you can more easily follow while dead.
