Post-death cooldown

Maybe a radical idea.

After dying let's kick the player from server and add him to a temporary ban list streamed to all servers for, say, 30 minutes.

This will prevent immediately running back for gear after respawning, raise the value of life, allow proper mourning and since the player will be kicked out when trying to reconnect it might ease server strain a bit.

Of course it kinda sucks when you're killed by bug but hey - more tears. :p

It`s already implemented and it`s called: Waiting for Server Response

Bad idea.

Really you want to penalize someone for playing the game by making them wait 30 minutes to play more? Most of the time you wont be getting back to your gear before someone else finds it. Or another player killed you and is looting your body. Or if you're with a friend they can just grab it for you.

Most of the reason for this would be pointless. I don't think its a good idea to make people wait to play something they enjoy.

Silly idea IMO

Losing all your stuff is punishment enough, I think. Making them wait is draconian and arbitrary.
