There are no corpse runs under 10th level, now. Your gear goes with you, the
corpse is bare, lasts a half hour, and is only there so someone can rez you

You also don't lose xp for dying until 11th.

They have this in EQ, too, you know. It's a warrior discipline, or was it
skill, called "shield", or something like that, where the tank takes partial
damage for another group member.

This is also new within the last year.
