''You are dead.''
You die when your health reaches 0%, or in other words when the sum of all your wounds reaches 100. It is not possible to die (or get hurt) from hunger or thirst, but they do decrease your survivability.
When you die, you leave all your items and equipment on your corpse, except for those that are [[nodrop|no-drop]]. This includes the [[Beginners Tools|beginners tools]] you get when you first start, [[deed]]s, [[contract]]s, any items you may have in a [[bag of keeping]] (BoK) or [[master bag of keeping]] (MBoK) and more.
== Your corpse ==
[[image:corpse_human.png|thumb|Corpse of a [[player]]]]
Normally, your corpse can only be looted by yourself, your friends, fellow citizens, or and allies, or (on Epic) people of an enemy kingdom, depending on your [[Profile#Your_Corpse_Lootability|corpse lootability]] settings. You can use the [[chat command]] '''/release corpse''' (with a space) to allow anyone from your kingdom to loot your corpse. If the corpse does not seem lootable after using the command, typing it a second time seems to actually release it.
Generally, your corpse will last around a real-life week on deed but 48 hours off deed. After that, it will decay and the items that were on it will be a pile of items on the ground where you died, and no longer protected. If your corpse is on a deed tile that does not allow picking up of items, it is possible that others may not be able to loot your corpse, even if you do release it. However, you always have the right to loot your own corpse.
:''Exception'': Skills that are above 99 are protected from this loss, excluding fighting and [[characteristics]].
For all skills, except [[Fightingfighting]], you will get 3x the normal skill tick values until you reach the original, highest skill value again.
==Respawning==
While dead, you will be on a red and black screen with a little box in the middle, you will have to choose where you want to respawn. If you are dead and you cannot see the little box, type /respawn in your chat window.
While you have no deed, you will only be able to spawn at your Kingdom start town, or the Capital capital if you are a member of a [[Player player made kingdom]].
When you are the owner or citizen of a settlement, you will be able to spawn on or outside that settlement. If that settlement has any allies you will be able to spawn there also if you die within 50 tiles of their center. If the server you died on has a [[white light]] and [[black light]], you are also able to spawn at the light belonging to your kingdom.
==Death tab==
You are able to see who has died on the server you currently are on, and show others that you have died. The default is on but can be turned off by going into [[profile]] and selecting hide for participating ''Participate in death tabs PvE Deaths tab on Dying'' and/or death tabs''Ignore the PvE Deaths Tab''. This will work on players with over 1.5 [[body]] skill on PvE servers and over 20 + [[fighting]] skill on PvP servers.
