Death



Death is what happens when your character's health reaches zero. A message will be sent dependent on how you die. " tried to swim in lava" is one that is sent if you die from lava damage, for example.

When a character dies, a Tombstone is dropped at the location of their death. It is inscribed, much in the way the sign functions, with how the character met his/her demise. Being affected by physics, it is possible for the Tombstone to "roll" after character death if the character was moving at the time. If the Tombstone hits an enemy while rolling, it will do 99 damage to each enemy it hits, killing most enemies on contact.

Difficulty differences
A softcore character will drop half of the amount (rounded up) of each type of Coins your character is carrying at the moment of death. To avoid heavy financial losses upon death, be sure to often stash your cash in your Piggy Bank (or in a Chest, if you don't have one yet).

A mediumcore character will drop all carried items onto the floor, including money and ammo. Any additional max health or mana is not lost.

Hardcore characters on the other hand, will drop all of their items upon death. The character is deleted on death and turns into a ghost, unable to interact with the environment, but still able to observe and chat with other players.
