Forty-eight zones, three tiers. In one of them death costs you nothing. In another it costs every copper you are carrying. In the last it costs the armour off your back — and somebody is standing over the chest.
Back to the frontYou are told which tier you are standing in, in colour, every time you cross a border.
Death costs you nothing. Starting zones and every capital.
Death costs you the gold you carry. Your gear stays on your body.
Death costs you your gold and your gear. Full loot, no exceptions.
Nobody loses a bag to a rule they did not know about.
Gold and gear. Seven of these can be held by a guild — hold one and your guild farms more gold inside it, and taxes every outsider who loots there.
