| Question Title: | Death cap? |
| Category: | Character |
| Question: | I have a character that had aquired 1500 deaths, and no longer leaves corpses, even after multiple patches to the game. Is there some kind of limit on the deaths you can have other than the 5 corpses on the server at any given time limit? |

| Answer: | There is a corpse spam timer to prevent players from littering the ground with extra corpses and hurting framerate for other users. Once you've triggered the filter, you have to wait (level*5min) of in-game time before you'll start dropping corpses again. The most common way people set off the corpse spam filter is by macroing thier characters and suffering a huge number of deaths in a very short time span. Because of this, what you have is commonly refered to as "macro curse". |
