With 1.0.6 out now, it looks like Medium Core is the same as Hardcore was in 1.0.5 and Hardcore is now really Hardcore - the character appears as a ghost after death and cannot do anything except float around and eventually Save and Quit (in single player). When you go to start up again, the character has been completely deleted from the list.

My question is, in the new Hardcore do you drop all your stuff if you Die in multi-player so that others can pick it up?

In Single player, you permanently lose everything you're carrying because your character is deleted and anything dropped would be lost when you quit to create a new character. Also anything in a piggy bank or safe of a deleted character is lost, so hard-core characters should put items they want to save for posterity in normal containers.

Of course, who want to be hardcore without really being hardcore should still be able to back up the character file itself on their computer, though I have not tested this. Nor have I tested the effect of quickly killing the Terraria process without saving immediately after death. Does anyone know what happens?
