UO Second Age

I remember after death being able to insta-res with statloss. Im not sure when this went out of effect though. I think it was UO:R when it was taken out?

Im pretty sure no one here would use it though.

it was in when i joined, then it disappeared

I heard somebody say Derrick disabled it temporarily because it was causing some kind of problem.

Lighten me up on this, what does this mean?

After getting killed you had an option to resurrect yourself right away, but the penalty for this was you would have some statloss. I'm not sure how bad the statloss was though.

Basically it was a choice I made in the first week i was playing UO. It was a noob mistake.

20% tops

Didn't the statloss for reds stack with insta-rez penalty?

Pretty sure insta rez was UO:R.

Nay, it's accurate here.
I'm not entirely sure why they removed it from here. It's really sort of pointless because nobody in their right mind would choose to res and get statloss.

This definitely needs to be reinstated on uosa. The suggestion that this mechanic was a UOR addition is mistaken. You could "resurrect with penalties" from the mid-dread lord days until some point well after the release of t2a. The option to automatically plays as a ghost was not even added untill probably late 1998 or 1999.

It is fun because it allows you to do ridiculous things on crap chars and to sacrifice your character for items if you so choose. I sill remember teasing with penalties here after kefka killed my crap char with his tamer's dragons. I instaressed, and killed him win 30 polar bears that I had transferred and stacked on a tile.

I am sure everyone who played in era us stories about friends who instaressed at the SW only to have it save, or merely clicked the wrong button.

It was definitely in the game when I started playing in July 1998, and was removed close to the time UO:R came out IIRC.

Much of this was previously discussed here:

Yep, you could also run into a house, suicide and insta res later. Era acurate!
