death?

[Sarras Volcae]

sure, but it's not natural for someone to fear death by teleportation/hopping/getting stuck in strange places.

Currently there is a poster hung up in the Death Realm (DR), announcing a "Warrior Scavenger Hunt 4" event, right at the technical entrance. Since it cannot be picked up, I assume this was hung up by Officials.

Is the DR now officially meant to be some place to be exited quickly enough, so that people can attend to events set up in close future?
Do people (ICly) travel to the DR to hang up posters for advertisement (the more, given it is meant to be a place of brief residence only now), or was this just a lucky coincident, saying a poor fellow died and luckily had some posters in his backpack that he decided to apply there?

Whatever is the explanation, and I dont mean to sound polemic, but to me this is everything but any close to "immersive", unless PlaneShift dissociated itself from roleplay in the first place.

There are people who love to die.  I saw people dying over and over, they did not even leave the Death Realm before dying again.  They must have a reason to do so...

I could understand if players ignore rules out of laziness, take the "shortcut" as an example.
There were many discussions about this topic in the past (1, 2), the PlaneShift's team (almost) always seemed to consider the DR as an uttermost dangerous place, a chance of escaping it not even guaranteed.

With this poster now, hung up by a GM or Dev, I was starting to wonder if things have changed - what's the current official opinion here?
Is the idea of rushing the DR quickly now officially supported? Perhaps just until some solution will be technically implemented?

generate a random maze, longer to cross and remove curse
spawn after in the town closest to the death place
remove the trainers there, they go there to train darkway

 
and dont correct me if there are mistakes

You folks are thinking too much like this is a finished game and you are not testers. The DR will be made harder when gameplay is more stable (less random dying because of bugs).

I am aware of PlaneShift is alpha, thats why I quoted threads discussing this issue. And I asked for the PS Team's current view on it, especially when it seems like it does not care in a coherent sense, regarding that event announcement in DR (refering the threads linked). This is why I would like to see a current statement. Is it that players, or say testers, can do in PS whatever they want as long as they use, means test, mechanics, neglecting any RP aspect meant to be implemented theoretically? If so I wouldnt be pleased, but it would be a direction. Or was that announcement placed there by accident or unintentionally? If so, please correct it. Or is it simply, that the meaning of the DR was adjusted? If so, please let us now.

There are malicious spirits and fisty young dead people, haunting the death realm. Not a place i like to find myself, and what is worst [is that i respawn in gugrontrid] I think that people should acknowledge death to a more serious level than they do. Its hard to think that dying 5 times a day is not stressful upon somebody 

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

The statement is already made in the in game literature.

[Sarras Volcae]

what about this?

3. in the Octarchal Decree, what is meant when a law says death? true death or just dying?
