Activity varies. If actually schedule events in the ROTD, the dead will show up. Otherwise, people are usually too busy playing their live characters to keep playing the dead ones.

Which leads me to the likelihood of deactivating the ROTD in the near future - not merely because of RP inactivity, but because some players have serious OOC issues, refusing to let go, trying to come up with ways to resurrect their favorite dead character ("Can I be cloned?" is a common request).

I created the ROTD about a year ago with the intention of softening the blow on people who become devoted to their characters - but I think, in some ways, it is crueler to keep those shades hanging around, tempting them.

So, I may be returning to a strict permadeath mode soon.
