Forced death

Forced deaths occur whenever damage or degeneration does not reduce a character's health to 0. These deaths do not count towards the /death command count. However, there have been some reports of forced deaths counting as deaths.

Examples

 * The tutorial death at the resurrection shrine during the Mantid Hatchlings and Rally the Recruits (Tutorial) quests.
 * Failing a Cooperative Mission, resulting in the whole party dying.
 * Your whole team using the /resign command. (There has been reports that /resign has caused actual deaths in the Jokanur Diggings (Mission) and other missions, presumably due to bugs that were present at the time.)
 * Forced deaths during cinematics such as at the end of the Vizunah Square mission. (although there are multiple reports that unbound minions during the cinematic have caused actual deaths, and reports as recently as 12/19/2006 that the cinematic caused actual deaths without unbound minions). Also, minions may cause death during the cinematics in the Elona Reach Mission.
 * Being crushed under the smashers in Sorrow's Furnace or Jokanur Diggings (Mission).
 * Deaths from the firespitter environmental hazard in the Consulate Docks (Mission).
 * Deaths from Sulfurous Haze.
 * Being killed by Mad King Thorn on Halloween 2005 or Halloween 2006.
 * Being 'served' by Abaddon by dancing on his bridge.
 * Dying from Death Pact Signet.
 * Being killed by one of the Mursaat that were temporarily stationed in the Maguuma Stade outpost.
