In an effort to reduce the viability of suiciding inside guarded zones in Deadman mode, we have made a change to death within guarded zones.
If you die with a skull inside a guarded zone, you will now lose 10% of your experience in protected skills in addition to the existing item and XP loss.
If you die without a skull inside a guarded zone you will not lose any experience in your protected skills.
