I agree with you Jos. But when there dead bodies are such problem in Polish area, so maybe if someone can help us with them do bury them is not so bad idea? I know that no one in staff have time to help us with this, so maybe this would be a solution and can we relax the rules in this case? I know this is stupid idea, but there are online translators or dictionaries which can help...

Hehe, you want players just as gravediggers? :) ... I'm not sure that's the best solution to this problem :) ...

I'm still thinking what would be a good and easy-implementable solution. Haven't found it yet, really :) ...

I also think that would not work, because there would be not enough players willing to help.

But what you think about this solution:

If there dead bodies of characters younger than 21 years will not apper in objects tab, then there will not be such problem, because most of dead bodies are from characters of players who just look at the game and don't login anymore. There should be exceptions from that when someone was killed or body have any wearable items.


Is it hard to implement or you don't like it (if so, then why)?

I'd like to see cremation or similar, but what would be awesome is to que burials. If I'm going on holiday I can collect 10 days of wood and have progress while being away, but I can only bury one body. Queing a few days ahead could be awesome all around.

stop stealing my suggestion :P

I guess 'death' can't be limited by age - or I'm sure Jos would have done that - it does seem the most obvious answer for 20 year olds not to leave a body.

I think bodies can be removed manually - as in the case of "double deaths" - would it be possible to automate this? So that unsubscribing or timing out runs a script to delete the bodies that are created?

But the thing is some players cannot afford to log in several times a day. So working on burials requires more work from the player even if the character is getting less stress. And does it really take 1.5 days now? I thought it was two to three hours. Anyway, only players who log in several times a day can afford to bury corpses since otherwise the character will be lazying around for the rest of the night.
