Do not fear death, Death will come a knocking anytime it wants.

What is the Death Penalty in WAR?

That is the deciding factor for WAR.  Does it put fear in you?  

Someone with beta knowledge please enlighting me with what happens when you die.

There isnt one.

No XP loss, no gear damage, no debt. You just revive at a base nearby and off you go.

Edit: No fear either, in fact the death window says (and I quote):

"You died!! Don't worry though, its all part of the game!"

Well thanks, I pass, no point in playing a game with no risk.

Zerging will be the only "tactic" in WAR then.

there is a death penalty but its minor

warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Death

When you die, you will be given a 10 minute debuff which will decrease your stats and damage output.

This debuff stacks each time you die.

It's only for PvE deaths, not PvP deaths.

Yes, I wish there was a better death penalty. But in RvR you die a lot. If there was a serious death penalty, things would have gotten out of control.

i wish PvE had a harsher one but PvP really shouldnt have a death penalty in my opinion so except for the easy penalty for pve they made the right decision because i think you will be dieing alot more often than you are use to in an MMO

What Xtort said:

PvE death results in a 10 minutes debuff which is has your Wounds (hp) lowered. It stacks if you die again in that interval of 10 mins. Also you are released to the closest camp/warcamp. You have to run back to your quest.

PvP death results in sending you back to the closest camp/warcamp. You have to run back to where the fighting is. No debuffs in this case.

Now, I'm not sure but being resurrected after you die and if you don't release, you get no debuff (PvE).
