HAHAHA!! That's awesome. Yeah, I die a lot. I swear a lot at this game, too. Probably the most curse words I've uttered since playing EQ. Corpse runs are not fun. I don't mind them, but kinda wish there was a way to bind to a new area like you could in EQ to not have to always start from the beginning stones. The portals do help with CR's, though. I did have to borrow someone's boat at one point to get my corpse. I took whomever's ship was at Cynical's original base camp. I tried making a raft 4 times, but it would either fall apart, or I'd die trying to get to my corpse. I did return the ship to its port, however!
I'm having a love/hate relationship with this game right now. It definitely feels like original EQ, but it also has a ton of quick deaths like original EQ did, too. I like that the world is dangerous, keeps you on your toes. Not sure I like the game being skill based and not level based, though. Feels like even with better weapons and armor, I'm still getting my ass kicked on a frequent basis. I did see online that some mods have created 6 new classes to play in Valheim. That would really make things interesting!
