Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain

Just a quick suggestion RE player deaths, which would also help to allay some wars wich constist of 'Die and immediately run back to fight'. It's a fairly simple suggestion: Upon dying, the character that has been killed will, as normal, ressurrect in local tavern, BUT, after being killed, the player may not move that character from the pub for 30 seconds. If the player does try to leave the tavern before this 30 seconds is up, they would be presented with the following message:
'Your soul still lingers on the ethereal plain.'
During this time 'dead' players may chat as normal, but can't go bolting back to a fight, and lends an extra penalty to death. (Optional: Name colour for 'dead' players.)

::thumbs up::
Only if you are pk'ed, though. Or for deaths by monsters, make it significantly less. This will just anger new players to the quitting point. Impatient schmucks...

Love the idea, but it's 30 seconds a bit much? I'd say 10 seconds would be more suited, but then I try not to PK/get PKed much, so it wouldn't affect me a great deal.

On rev you can get like 3 minutes in hell..
What about having to wait [level] seconds? Not a problem for new players, is still high at any level where you'd be suiciding, and builds up instead of just occuring at a certain level.

Would it be the same if you were killed by a monster tho? Level 1-5 you just dont want to waste that kind of time if a rat killed you. 1 stam every 10 seconds now is a pain in the butt. Otherwise I like it.

Well folks, you heard it, if your reading this, don't just be fence sitters, state your opinions.
(Thanks to those who already have.)
MODIFY: This is with the level scaling element included.
