Killed someone, now how do I Loot them?

[Karmaroo 0]

So, I killed someone.  I won't go into the details, but it was bloody and awful.  Anyway, the body dropped and the kill icon hovered.   But then the body just disappeared?  He was wearing a large mountain backpack too.   Nothing too loot.   What did I do wrong?

you murdered him in cold blood, so no cookies for you.

seriously, its just alpher. I know thats an over used retort BUT... thats why. currently, as soon as the player (you killed) re-spawns himself, or 'quits' the server his body disappears. sux but... alpher.

What were you there?

Most likely he logged off.

 

Sometimes people do this as to prevent you from looting anything.

 

Its a scumbag move.

I wonder how to prevent it, because for myself, the RESPAWN isn't working and i have the abort O_O

Respawn is broken.

 

You click it get a black screen then have to exit and come back in to start over again.

Sometimes people chooses to log out not because he/she doesn't want you to get the loot. I believe the body wont disappear after death even if logged out, probably another glitch or you didn't kill him thoroughly, resulted in unconscious instead of dead. The body (unconscious person, to be specific) will disappear if he/she is not dead and chooses to "exit".
