    Default /death while in town

    I missed the part in the release note that indicated that you will now suffer xp debt for a death within non-instanced areas. I don't have an issue with it if you plan on a PROMPT response to stuck character issues. It is completely unacceptable to become stuck, and then have to wait in excess of one hour for a gm to move your character. Sadly this is what happens, so the fastest way to resolve the issue is to /death without xp debt. Unfortunately you will now suffer xp debt unless you choose to wait the ridiculous amount of time for a gm to respond.

    CHANGE IT BACK, OR IMPROVE YOUR RESPONSE TIME!!!

    Prior to the last update you did not lose xp for a /death in town.

    Previous to 4.0 mod, I don't know.

    Yup at one point you did get dinged for dying in town. A few face plants going off the ramps to the Leaky Dingy showed that. However that was altered at one point IIRC.

    With healing in town I have also had the wierd thing of getting booted from a timed quest while incapped but stable and soloing. Showed up on the ground for a while outside the quest, town healing eventually got me up. Was kinda wierd.

    Nope. I fell through the bridge in front of the Reaver raid three weeks ago. The bridge was there graphically, but I fell through it down to the lava. After 30 minutes without a response from a gm I decided to /death. To my surprise, I did not lose any xp.

    Well, that was a special case and not the norm. Perhaps the lava is registered as part of the open-air-tavern. Anyway, it's always been that the majority of places you die, be it /death, falling off a cliff, or killed, you'll get xp debt.
