Allow food to be kept for 30 minutes (even across dead)

[Ariyn]

No clue why people are even saying "Level Cooking if you don't like the cost". Do you people even realize that even once level'd the cost of mats alone are usually about what the food is worth?

I agree that something needs to be fixed. We have 3 cooks at 50 that cook every week for our 3 raid groups and we spend upwards of 5-6 hours a week each just cooking food as we are teaching the fights to new people so consumption is higher then normal. That's not even attempting and wiping on turn 5 since it's been down for 2 weeks.

Either food needs to last through death or the amount made per craft needs to be increased to 3 per craft. I mean seriously look at the mats and you can figure out that if you were using all those mats you could easily make more then 1 serving of a food ><

Sounds like some casual nonsense to me, better make it so you need to go loot your corpse or you might lose everything you have. Then you tack on the EXP loss, and maybe, MAYBE then you're worthy to grind out some pixels in a REAL MMO. I don't think anyone's ever done that, and if they have I'm sure it was a system that was so widely loved that it persisted and spread amongst all the MMOs of the world because of what a good idea it was.

You obviously never played EQ1 have you? This is exactly what you had to do. Exp loss on death and if you were deep somewhere you had to get back there nakkid to get your stuff off your body or find a necro that would be willing to summon it for you. Was a much better time back then /sigh
