Respawning

Planning to play risky? Read this first.

The Island is a rough environment and, sooner or later, everyone finds themselves in a sticky situation with their health dropping to zero. Luckily, there are several options to get back into action.

Respawning Options

To successfully respawn, payment is needed for any of the available options:

Each option has a timer to limit any potential abuse. Note that the respawn prices may differ on private servers.

Bank accounts can go down to -2500$, meaning that respawning is available even if there is no money on the account.

The worst case scenario is when someone reaches the -2500$ and then dies. That results in permadeath.

After that, there are 2 plausible ways to get back on the same server. The first way is by making a new character.

The second way is someone using the Phoenix Tears item to bring a dead prisoner back to life. Three uses of the said item can revive anyone even after permadeath.
