Well I was running away from a bear when the server crashed and it killed me, i was in a marsh and i was wondering if my items will dissappear like they do when you drop something it the water?

[BruThoL]

How would you know it actually did kill you since the server isn't up yet?

chances are if the server crashed your alive. Check the "account" tab

Items don't sink in swamp IIRC.

[DatOneGuy]

They do not, confirmed recently.

Ok thats nice to know and I did die unfortunatly and someone took all my things :*(

The server did not crash. If it did you'd still be alive.

And EVEN if it did (it didn't), you wouldn't get your character back anyway so no use trying to lie about it.

Well, the server was down when he posted that.
I assume he meant the following:

Well I was running away from a bear and it killed me just before the the server crashed [...]

Items only survive about 30 minutes after getting dropped to the ground. I forget what it takes for a body to decay after death. I believe it's 30 minutes. It's very likely, if the server did crash after you died, that you didn't get back on in time to collect your things.
