Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
No.
How would this benefit Alora?:
UIM players cannot enter the wilderness currently as the risk of losing all of their drops/supplies/cosmetics is far too large. As an Ultimate player myself this is an account restriction that i was aware of from the start of my account and thus planned my account by doing all of the Wilderness achievements, wilderness agility, wilderness hunter, rune pouch hunting, dragon pickaxe hunting and infinity boots hunting right at the very start of my accounts life. By the time i left the wilderness it had nothing left to offer my account and i thus began to play the game knowing i wouldn't have to return. Fast forward to maxing my account and gaining various valuable PvM drops, the Mage Arena 2 quest was released. The addition of this quest forces me to return to the wilderness if I ever want to wear the completionist monkey. This is a big hindrance and is probably the biggest reason that more than 50% of the players with 1B+ experience in the ultimate ironman gamemode don't own the completionist monkey.
60 minute death timers would allow an ultimate ironman player to die in a controlled environment (such as at monkey guards) and then proceed to complete the quest whilst their items lie on the floor for 60 minutes at monkey guards.
Example of how the quest would be completed with updated death timers:
Buy xerician robes, ancient staff, craft runes, buy god staffs.
Drop the items on the floor and then go to monkey guards and suicide to them.
Return to your dropped items and pick them up whilst the majority of your items remain at monkey guards for 60 minutes.
Complete the quest then drop your items as theyre not needed anymore.
Return to monkey guards (withing 60 minutes) to pick up your 'bank'.
The completionist monkey was meant as a reward for accounts who have progressed further than the majority of accounts on Alora. Ultimate Ironmen shouldn't have to risk hundreds of hours of progress in order to receive this reward.
As a very brief side note UIM accounts have to suicide alot on their accounts. If we dc whilst our items are on the ground we will probably lose them due to such a low death timer.
TL;DR Update death timers so UIM accounts can complete Mage Arena 2 quest without risking hundreds of hours of progress.
