<p>The newest episode states: resurrection will cause a loss of EXP.</p>

<p>My guess for dying:</p>

<ul>
<li>(the same)</li>
<li>people can take your stuff</li>
<li>takes time to "come back to life"</li>
<li>you lose part of your equipment</li>
</ul>

You do not lose your equipment upon death. During one of the early scenes with the bandits, the bandits are forcing characters to strip off their armor at knife-point because if it is not unequipped before death they will keep it.

<p>This is covered later in the LNs (which are being translated and are available <a href="http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Log_Horizon" rel="nofollow">here</a>):</p>

<ul>
<li>Adventurers lose EXP while NPCs die for real.</li>
<li>However, there is an additional penalty that is not obvious: when an adventurer dies they lose some of their memories.</li>

<p>When people die inside Elder Tale they respawn in the Cathedral.<br>
In the first episode a penalty for dying was mentioned. However, no specifics were given.  </p>

<p>Does the light novel or the manga shed some light on what the penalty (or penalties) might be? </p>

What is the penalty to dying inside Elder Tale?
