Armageddon does have a 2-hour "newbie resurrection" period for new accounts. It used to be for everyone, but experience showed that veteran players sometimes used this 2-hour period to do exceptionally risky things, knowing that if worse came to worst, they would "respawn." It's more of a grudging convenience to newbies than anything else.

But no, PvE or PvP character deaths don't frustrate me in the least, because the game is organized exceptionally well. The vast majority of the time, when my characters have died, it's because either a) I was doing something stupid, b) I ****ed off the wrong people, or c) I went link-dead or had a really slow connection. Link-loss aside, the rest is part of the greater story of the game: life is hard, **** happens, people die.
