Is death permanent? No not at all. Just like when the game was just a game, a character who dies respawns after a period of time. This period of time (about 5 turns of combat) is to allow for folks to use resurrection magic if they've got it, but once that time is up, the character reforms and awakens at a designated shrine. Shrines are located inside of towns and outside the entrance of dungeons and raids.
However, there is a surprising drawback to death that hadn't been there before. After you die and respawn, there's a kind of spiritual heaviness to you, as though you were wearing a weight that you cannot see. Thusfar, it's unclear if there's a way to get rid of it but one thing that is known as that after you die it becomes harder to respawn. After each death, the time to respawn increases by 2 turns. There feels like a struggle to return to life. Many fear that after a certain tipping point, you may not be able to come back at all, but so far that hasn't been reached.
NPCs however do not have the luxury of respawning. Once they die, they stay dead forever.
