Maybe I'm remembering things completely wrong here but I thought characters within the first 30 days could depart confirm all they wanted and never see a death's sting? In fact I remember making new characters and if they ever died I would always depart confirm because there was no point in waiting around for a rescue when there was no penalty in just decaying.
Has this changed? Is it just up to a certain level you can avoid death's sting and not always within the first 30 days? Was it never this way to begin with and this is another sign of old age setting in?
About an hour of my gift wasted getting 25 experience per pulse before I finally figured out I had a death's sting from the day before.
