About death, its a natural part of the game, some nights i dont die at all,
some I can easily die 15 times. It happens, not much you can do about it
when things go bad, and fleeing isnt an option mostly where i play.
Just live with death, for me 90% of the time i get a ress within 10 min and
the rest is corpse summon and ress. Life in earlier stages varies depending
on how hard it is to get ress or if you care at all. When I grew up resses
werent an option most of the time as there were no clerics that could ress
at all, nowadays you can find one without looking too hard.
If you never die you would never be careful either, it has to be ups and
downs to be fun imo.

I absolutely hate game death and try to avoid it whenever possible. I let
people know right off that if I think I am going to get killed I will flee.
A dead cleric isn't very helpful. Especially since I only have a 21.6k
connection and we're talking about waiting 5 or more minutes to reload from
death. When my mother is playing also, my zoning like that can cause her to
lag very badly. If she has to zone or gets killed then one or both of us get
booted offline. And I lose alot of xp. So that isn't fun.
