  Love watching the latest instalments of the game. Watching the wipes and seeing the game at its best. Hard but fare, cut and thrust, learning curves and above all fun with friends.
  
  With that said I for one are looking forward to doing corpse runs and all the associated fun that goes with it.
  
  But (yes a but)
  
  Some time Real life interrupts your game. Thing happen and people have to run.
  
  With parental commitments having restricted my game play in the past. I now start thinking about how death will again restrict my game time. Having to stop playing an hour before I need to incase I die or not grouping to do x due to the same reasons.
  
  Boom fear of death restricts my enjoyment. Yes I can ask for help, but being shy and not liking putting people out (yes it normally doesn't). To me it's hard.
  
  I would like to see your corpse not despawn right away, but maybe after a week it could respawn to a handy graveyard. Where I could go and loot my possibly irreplaceable gear earned through great times and hard work.
  
  This corpse then could eventually despawn. Then it would be down to you alone if u didn't get your nice gear back.
  
  It's just an idea for us poor socially inept few with RL constraints.
  
  Oh and thanks in advance for all those kind offers of corpse runs at the drop of a hat. Love u all, your deeds are legendary.

  I can safely say you're not the only one. A large portion of the target audience is in a similar situation. This is something that will have to addressed during testing.

  I like that idea. If you can't get it through normal grouping or CR. Then you have a week stand down time, which is punishment enough, but you can't get a XP rez on the corpse when it respawns at the graveyard.

  You just have to play another char if you can't get to the corpse. You're still paying a sub for the game. It is a mechanic to get a corpse back with a timed penalty along with the XP penalty.
