→Experience Loss In Nightmare and Hell Difficulty
For example, if a character needed to gain 100,000 experience to move from one level to the next, and died on Hell difficulty, the experience loss would be 10% of 100,000, or 10,000 exp. If that character restarts in town and manages to return to his/her corpse and fully loot it, the experience loss is reduced by 75%. This would cut the 10,000 loss from the example given to just 2,500 exp. If a character leaves the game and doesn't recover their corpse until the next game, the full experience penalty remains in effect permanently.
Experience is lost for each and every death, so it's not a wise strategy, in terms of experience loss, to die multiple times trying to recover your first corpse.
===Dueling===
Experience loss counts for PvP deaths as well, so it's not a good idea to duel on Nightmare or Hell. If you are going to die on the higher difficulty levels, it's wise to do so immediately after you level up. Since the experience loss will never drop you down a level, your experience won't drop any lower than the minimum for a given level.
