Question regarding get all corpse.. I assume this was done to make it more difficult to mass full loot, but what about if its YOUR corpse? Will the command be in place in order for you to get all your stuff from your own corpse or will you still have to do it one item at a time?

You can still get all from your own corpse.

Ok some feedback:

Can we please have normal tier <PK> red again, and bump Hardcore to the new color? It looks so strange.

Can we please revert the fish scale change. The only common blessed shield on the game, and now it becomes rare. Some moderate classes get as low as only 8 rares. And we it used to be able to get it at around L30 and now it's on a L50 mob. There was an good blessed shield and an evil bless shield on game available to L30's. Both commons, now there is only the evil.
Can we please try to not upgrade common items to rare? You guys already rared the gardeners mask, that was like the best moderate face mask (-3 vs spell), all others are awful. There are already so many rare shield that suck, surely another could had this upgrade.
Just wished to transmit how large an impact this change on the shield has.

If you can sleep you aren't 'Undead', just "Undead". :D
Or aren't liches their own race apart?

Ok that was vague. Necromancer minions can't be ordered to sleep, so I imagine that Undead can't sleep themselves. Since I saw your lich sleep, I assume that you aren't a "undead" to the code. Makes more sense now. Also, bards like get a sleep undead song, does it still work?
I should just keep quiet... anyhow, you should totally get more HP. and apply for journeyman.

SACRIFICE now includes 1 round of lag.

I despise this change.

99.9% of the time we are using it outside of PK. Now my hunts will be slower because I like to sacrifice the corpses my groupamtes/pets/zombies/charmies leave? 10 coral keys on the ground from the kelp farmer and you want to sac them? 2 ticks to do that. Too many items on the ground from the captain in the caverns? Be ready to spend a few minutes REAL LIFE time spamming sacrifice...

I also don't like how this game is become hardcore carebear. I fully support the "get all corpse" removal change. But 1 round of lag for SACRIFICE? That's just absurd.

Without that command, races who leave no corpses, are easily full looted/full sacrificed. I believe it has been implemented exactly for that particular reason, so that you won't be able to destroy everything an undead had when his corpse desintegrates in one tick. It does not prevent people from simply typing "get all" and full looting the undead/vampire/lich though, so maybe that needs some extra toughts. I agree about the corpses though. Shouldn't be lagging there. And maybe I should make it clear that I am posting on the forum to try and make suggestions on how to improve. I am in no way playing, nor will I ever. 

Explanation for those who think I've changed my mind yet again and gone back on my word.

Take it from someone who has been there many times: if you're still posting on the forum, you're not gone, and you will be playing again sooner rather than later.  The only way I've ever seen someone stop playing for a significant period of time is when they aren't forum active either.

Traditionally Vampires and that sort of undead when slayed left a pile of ash on the ground. I understand the RP idea of not leaving a corpse, but they could leave a container named ash pile. That would solve both problems.

Just have undead PC's leave a corpse, then have it check if race is undead, if so, change corpse description to ash pile.
