Solved Lost exp

Hi,
how is it possible...?
I was in game, there was some connection problem (for sure it wasnt my net problem) "your connection was interrupted"... a few times...
...and i noticed that i have lost 10% exp w/o dying?
acc: winetou
char: W_Hyperion

It's a tough pill to swallow, I had it too a couple of times. When you lose connection, for whatever reason, the character remains in the game - not sure for how long, until it is auto-kicked by the server for (probably) not responding to ping or something along that line. If you have the "luck" to be in a crowded place with your char, it is possible that it dies.
This is, most likely, what you encountered. Saw now that it's a 98 lvl char, and this definitely hurts, but it's unlikely that anyone can restore your lost exp (and time).
Best approach is, probably, to either exit the game with the char and wait for ping / latency to come back to normal values, or to stay behind, if in a public game with chars that can cope with mobs.
One last thing: at least you were not in HC

 

but he said he didnt have to retrieve his body if i am correct....if you die you have to pickup your body right?

im just curious and joining the conversation, hope its ok

 

You lose 10% if you die and do not recover the body, which will appear in the next game you join / create in town. If you recover the body in the same game that you died, the penalty drops to 2.5%. These figures are per death, if you die multiple times in the same game, you start multiplying them by the number of deaths.

 

OH WOW!, i never knew this, i always left my dead body there. well CRAP! thank you, ive learned something!

 

Yes, im familiar with all you said... (ofc dont accuse anyone, just discuss the issue)...
Let me to be more detailed... per example, Two weeks ago i had died again (in 96 and 97 didnt die once, now two times, anyway). It was "usual" dying... joined from an old laptop, it crashed and in next game my body was in town.
Now, in next game i was with 1point hp, i was in throne and was thinking, uuh im poisoned and survived, even i continued to play and losing 10% i noticed few games later...
Thats why i was wondering how it is possible..., no body in town, all my equipment were on me... just lost exp...
ty for answers

 

If u leave a game fast enough ( or in your case get dc) ur hero wont have to pickup body on next game but it will still count ur death. We do this on pvp so we dont have to go back and pickup our mana potions

 

This is the answer i was looking for, this explains my confusion on the idea.
