1. The Roman server is separate from the Medieval server. I’ve never had Orion take Dalia’s items and run when they first meet Thanatos. Does anyone know if she dies if you that? That would actually solve all of this. Because if she dies if you leave her, and then later in the Roman server still has her armor and weapons, then that would prove you have separated inventory on different servers.
2. But there would be no such thing as “too many things,” if your whole inventor is always on you. Either a person's inventory is every item they own even if not "in their inventory" (thus losing them if they die), or a person's inventory is just what is on them and as such has limited space based on what they can carry. You are drawing points from different arguments that are inconsistent to make the case.
3. Annie was locked in a cafeteria with dead bodies all around her, she knew there was something bad going on, and she could have gotten out in a heartbeat if she had access to her high-level swords, when the aliens show up later, she sure saw aliens then and could have fought them with her weapons. We have already seen that Weapons of Atlas are not bound by rules of server types and non-combat server setting (if those are even a thing), and on the station, we saw the Merc using a weapon.
4. Appearing on different servers with different item available actually proves my point. And think about this. Nova was very cold on Ogygia server, if she has access to her items because her "inventory" is all her items then why didn't she change clothes? Her sin city clothes were doing nothing for her there. Gems of Doom and Weapon of Atlas are special items that are always on a person unless that person stores them elsewhere. They are not server bound items like others.
5. But you aren't "believing Idriel," you are operating from a preconceived notion of what her words mean. What is "in your inventory" and what is "starting from scratch." Based on her words alone neither of us is right, a person could lose the items on them when they die or lose everything they have in every server. So, we have to look at other evidence. People storing thing elsewhere, items being stolen, items not appearing in some servers, and automatically appearing when entering others, character's not using items they could have if they could access them. The word "inventory" in games means items on a player character. Even outside of game terminology it means all items in a specific location or *accessible* by a person or company at a given time.
5.5 And Idriel's words, "start from scratch" =/= start with nothing. If I make a cake, "from scratch" am I starting with nothing? No, I am just starting with the separate ingredients. Starting from scratch can mean starting in a server you die in with just the items you have left in other places. You have to build back up to those awesome items you lost, but you don't lose everything. You can still coble together items from other servers or that had stored on that one even. But you are having to scratch build you character from lesser items since you lost those great ones you had on you. And since some items are level locked then you may not be able to use them for a long time again.
The fact is we don't know the answer. Idriel's statement is one piece of evidence, and her words can be interpreted several ways based on our assumptions about those words.
And, as I haven't died, I need to ask everyone else. Does Orion lose all his Eternnums when he dies? If he dies fighting the guy in the arena, then does Orion have any money? Money used and needed to even pull off the heist. If his money isn't lost on character death, then items on other servers and "physical items and titles" like building ownership, for sure shouldn't be lost.
Can’t be sure, but I’m betting that since there is a twenty-four hour pause between the player dying and being able to log back in that is the window the body is still around and able to be looted. Then, when a player logs back in their body de-spawns from where it is and a new body is made with starting gear for the server (if going to the server you died on) or their base body on another server is loaded up.
Edit: The screen shot posted by
Rovenant shows that a player's body de-spawns when they log back in.
