LOL - I need to find you and feed you disenfected fruit bits. You sound fun to kill.

Which works fine unless you are aggressed. If you are aggressed that timer should be extended heavily.

if you are pulling pages from a game to emulate in this regard I'd say pull one out of EVE Onlines Playbook. The aggression mechanics there require you to be out of combat for 15 minutes before your character will leave the client. This includes if the entire client is shut down. The body disappearing after the aggression timer is deactivated is something else that'll have to be worked out all together but this would allow a time to both close to your target and search the body before it disappears with all its fat loot into the nether. I think that timer in DayZ could easily be applied to combat logging and shortened to say 5 minutes. So When logging out you remain where you are for 1 minute if you have not been involved in any combat in the last five minutes. if you log out during combat you will remain in your last position for 5 minutes if you are either (a) still alive and not taking any hostile actions against your character or ( b. dead. If you are hit during this timer your 5 minutes reset until you are either no longer taking hostile actions or you are dead. Your body will remain there for let say 5 minutes unless it is searched. If its searched within that 5 minutes then the timer would reset itself for a final say 180 seconds allowing the winners at least some time to search your body. So in Short. Logging out would either take you 1 minute if you aren't a dick or it would take you a while if you fear for your precious internet pixles. During this time you could always log back in and attempt to defend yourself or choose to respawn.

Yea we were lugging around portable stoves last night until we stopped in a small out of the way spot and tried to cook rice. It only took about 10 minutes for us to figure out that either a. It wasn't working or b. it was bugged. Happy that we could still consume our rice dry we munched it down and drained a well dry. All in all it was a fantastic first night for me.
