Afterlife Overhaul?

[Jarka]

OP's plans + easier mechanisms to be revived if one wished to be revived (briefly outline in OP) = Boss afterlife.

I like the ideas in the OP. I see them as attempts to give the afterlife some actual character in par with the living realm. While I'd admit that under the current system, I would never want to die, I nonetheless wouldn't like to see the afterlife reduced to a pointless thing.

So yea, I'm for expanding the afterlife, and I think the idea Vad outlined is a nice place to start.

This. I think, especially if the questing system is being put into place in the IC living forums, that Vad's post is a nice jumping off point. I also like the idea of a minimum time in Afterlife so that it does carry some weight rather than just poofing back to life because you don't feel like RPing in hell, but not having phenomenal requirements to come back to life when the time has expired.

While I like the idea of continuing buffs/debuffs, I don't think they should replace death as a mechanic or even really deal with it. I think they should stay fluid RP fodder, which is how I've viewed them so far.

But, what do I know.
