Corpse camping is a practice found in many MMORPGs, where an enemy player character (PC) kills another PC in player versus player (PvP) combat and then loiters in the area of the dead PC's corpse. The mechanics for recovering one's body differ per game, but generally a PC must return to the area where he died to recover his body or face severe penalties. Those who corpse camp take advantage of these rules by waiting for the dead character to return to life, usually in a weakened state, and then killing him again when his defenses, mana and hit points are not at full capacity.
