    You probably did not retrieve your grave from your previous death. Your grave does not move each time you die.

      I was traveling with her...we both died, both went into the death void...both respawned.  When we got there, MY stone was there, but hers was not..."there" being back to where we fell, of course:)

          Never mind guys...it's late, and she's opted to sleep it off.  Turning in myself, but I'm worried this will cause future problems...should I be?

          Thanks!

          Yes as Creighton said we both died, right at about the same place in the forest.  Both of us were bound in Hlint. We portaled back to Pranzis walked back and his gravestone was there and mine was not. I and another character searched everywhere while invisible. We waited for along time, even had some good RP with passers by as we waited. I just want to make sure this doesnt have any effects on my character, as I only had one death, but could not retrieve the stone and had to log still a ghost, but with no stone on the world.

          Thanks,

          If central hasn't been reset, I saw Tyrian's gravestone in the topaz/coal cave in the Anuroch Desert last night.  

          If she recovered from a previous death on another server, that is where she will need to return to recover her grave vice where she recently fell in the forest of mists. Hope that helps!

          I did sleep a death off like two nights ago, heck maybe even last night.  Why would that effect my game now? Some sort of game mechanics that I don't understand?

          Sometimes the grave transfer doesn't occur and disappear across servers... so if you died in the topaz cave, slept off your death in Hlint, then rested to recover on West.. infrequently the grave will not clear on central.  So when you died on central the next time, it saw your old grave and did not create a new one.

          To avoid this rare occurance, it is best to just recover on whatever server your grave is on.. just in case.  If you have already recovered from your forest of mist death, I believe the grave in the desert will clear the next time the central server is reset.

          Happens to me all the time.  =)

          What osXmallard said is essentially correct.
            If you already have an unrecovered gravestone somewhere, you'll not get another one on subsequent deaths. Recovery from death, whether from waiting 10 hours out-of-game or however much time in-game will not always remove your existing grave stone, especially if it's on another server.
            While you did not die any other time that night, you still had one from 2 or 3 nights prior, and since Central had not been reset in that time, the grave persisted.
            In other words: You're fine.  :)

          Ok thanks for the help...  I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a reoccuring thing.
