Template:Player death

Player death in an open world dungeon in Alpha-1.^[1]

We don't have deleveling, instead what we have is experience debt. Now the more experience debt you accrue, the greater the detriment to your character; not to the point where you can not get out of the debt. There will always be a way forward to remove your debt.^[2] – Steven Sharif

When a player dies they disintegrate into ash. The ashes contain any items lost by the player due to applicable death penalties.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

These ash piles are immediately lootable by any player.^[4]
Player flagging is not triggered by looting.^[8]
Certain bags may have reduced PvP looting times.^[9]^[10]

It might even be the case that their particular bag space doesn't have available location for a three-by-one log; and you're a lumberjack and they see you just chopping down these trees and you're like, there's no point in me engaging with this person, because I have nothing to gain due to my capacity.^[11] – Steven Sharif

There will be a period of time following a player's death before their mule despawns. Other players must kill that player's mule to be able to loot it.^[12]
- If the mule dies its corpse will contain the same percentage of lootable items according to the player's death penalties.^[12]^[13]
Players do not lose gold upon death, no matter their corruption level.^[14]
- Players drop glint as stolen certificates on death based on applicable death penalties. Stolen certificates are not bound to the character.^[15]^[4]^[5]^[7]^[6]

Death by falling is possible.^[16]

Fall damage that occurs while mounted will be first applied to the mount; and if the mount dies as a result, then the remaining damage may overflow onto the player, but this will be determined based on testing.^[16]

Death by drowning is possible.^[17]^[18]
