    Sounds like a good idea to me! There's healer spells which help us reach our corpses, but a necro option with more limited range might be useful :)

    I vote for wizards being able to summon corpses (seems kind of in line with teleporting), but there is no exp regained like they said will happen when you do a normal corpse recovery run. So a corpse run is still preferable but not the only option.

    What a great idea! The penalty could be not recovering any lost xp (or clearing any xp debt if they go that way). The cost could be a not-cheap consumable provided by the customer? Perhaps even make this one of those spells/abilities that can be 'evolved' such that at it's highest evolution it becomes zone-wide, starting with a much more limited range until its upgraded, like maybe 3 stages of 30m, 100m, zone?  The animations might be tricky, but it would be pretty neat to see.

    I believe they want necro and bard classes, but that they may not make it in for launch.  That's assuming a necro even gets a corpse summon ability, which they possibly might not?

    Geez, come on man.  If you want us to spell something, don't put it in the title of your thread.  FFS!

    Love that idea of a 'Corpse Walk' spell for necros!
    And lol, Kittik.

    @Firewalker 

    By that premise it'd be more befitting of Summoner as they are summoning corpses. With that said, both classes simply wouldn't make much sense. If you consider the class that best fits the mechanic it would be Necromancer. However, since Necros may not be in until after Live we should then look into which of the healers don't have a rez spell. While Shamans and Clerics have a rez, Druids however, have a life insurance spell which acts as a type of 'divine intervention'. I think the idea would be that they use the earth to swallow the body of their party member near them and spring it up through the soil at their feet. We could balance it so by doing so removes any chances for it to be experience rezzed. Perhaps, on top of that, Shamans can send a corpse to zone-in but only from the location of the corpse. It would offer a different dynamic that plays into the corpse retrieval and would operate counter to their non-exp rez.

    Another option is one outside of class dynamics. What I offer is that when a corpse passes the time in which it can accept an experience rez, let's say 3 hours, if in a dungeon, it is then warped to zone-in into a designated location. From there the corpse then becomes invisible to all players but the owner of that corpse. It will then allow them to loot everything but at the understanding that the experience returned is no longer an option.

    This of course depends on the time they plan to give for a corpse before the experience rez timer ends. Overall though, it's the best possible solution I can think of that isn't punishing to the point of rage. 

    Another idea is having the automatic warp concept I mentioned and include it with the Druid system. This way if a group lost their corpses deep in an area and want to more quickly get their corpses, instead of waiting for the 3 or so hours, they can ask a Druid who can do it for them with the understanding that the corpses won't be able to be experience rezed but they'll be able to get to their equipment much quicker.

    My thought is this is not to make it persay easyer to get your corps why i said a necro like in eq1 with a expansive component like thw 100pp coffen. I figured that 99% of the time you well nees to do a corps run but for those times that bodys is sitting under a boss that u and your friends /guildys on line cant seam to kill you could qlways hire some one like an necro to bring it out it would cost ya but would be cool doing it. This also means your going to want that class as a friend for times in need. I would thin this skill spell would not even be around tell at least lv 25 is maybe 30 ish and i do like the range or spell increase as u lv up. This would mean you would still have to fight some to get in range unless it was q max lv of that class to summon it. I would even make this skill/spell have to be found some place.i can only see the necro with this spell. And i know the class may not come with release.
