@metaldog564 wasn't it more of a death penalty? That type of penalty is pretty common on MMOs and the only way to avoid it is if you got revived by a Cleric / Priest class on the spot.
Though I gotta say judging by the fact that they can freely switch roles here I guess it's a gear based MMO where your gear and weapon determines your class? I see that being pretty common on JP MMOs today. I really like the chill tone of the series so far and being an MMO player myself hearing the game jargon is pretty fun.
@RyoukoKonpaku thank you for reminding me to thank the translators.
Thank you guys for the translations.
Now, back into death penalties, most of death penalties I can withstand. Losing XP? Just need to grind it back. Leaving a corpse behind full of items and someone takes it? It is my fault for dying in a place that I can't reach before my corpse can be looted. Losing durability in my equipment? They were bound to degrade anyway, death just accelerated the process. Several debuffs are placed in my character? Well, I just need to lay low, play safe and wait for it wear off. But being barred from playing the game? That just ridiculous.
