[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Part of what has bothered me about death in MD is the response of others. "You're dead. Figure out how to revive yourself." Now I may be taking a bit of a reality view of it, but isn't that a bit off to tell a dead person to revive themselves? If someone is dead in reality, they can't restore their own lives. I know MD isn't reality, but there should be a greater effort made by the people around instead of snapping at the dead player to fix their own problem. The dead person is limited on what they can do.[/font][/color]
[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Another part that has bothered me is the lack of "justice" for the one that was killed. There is no justice for them unless they managed to get a screenshot. When I was killed, I had no clue what happened until I ended up in GoC. No hope for a screenshot then. All the player has to do is sit silent and they've gotten away with it. Yes, there are ways for retrieving chat logs if you're know someone with the spell for it. [/font][/color]
[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Then there's the cost. I don't have 300 silver or 20 gold to revive myself nor do I have the cash in reality to come up with it. Instantly my game would be over due to real world funding issues. At least when the torch was running a body had a glimmer of hope as Maebius mentioned.[/font][/color]
[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Perhaps what the realm as a whole needs to do is figure out a set of requirements, rituals, etc that [i]may[/i] work to revive a body. I'm not saying to do the work for the dead, but at least offer a [b]possibility[/b] of restoration. Hope goes a long way when it comes to motivation.[/font][/color]
