if there is going to be a death penality. It will totally destroy this game. it will lose its players. Thats for sure. So you play a character, you have some gear. You got shot by a guy, who is more geared than you and shoots everyone to piss them off. You wait 10 minutes and respawn. A nice friendly guy shoots you instant after some minutes, even if you are not geared at all. So you effectivly player for 5 Minutes and wait 20 Minutes. Sorry that is totally stupid. I want to play the game and not to wait. If you are interessted in this, make a new server group called: hardcore realism. Then its a very good suggestion! There are so many idiots out there who will use this to piss players off on regular servers. And dont say: "But you have to play good! Then you can play longer!!" - You know that there are people who are not "pro" but still like the game. No one will pay money for a game which they can't play nor enjoy. "You shouldnt be able to loot your own corpse" - You spawn somewhere.... and able too loot your own corpse, why not? If a player shot you not into your head. Most of your stuff will be ruined. Also the player who shot you, will take your good stuff, which is not ruined. When you reach your corpse there will be most likely nothing left. "But you start a new life and dont know where your corpse is." - You know, you dont have to loot it. If you start a new life, roleplay it or drink alcohol until you forget it. my 2 cents.
