==Death Penalties==

The "Death Penalty" is the term used to describe the negative consequences imparted to the player when they are killed by monsters or other players. The stated penalties have varied during Diablo III's development, and may not yet be written in stone. The most recent information came from Jay Wilson in August 2010[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-pcgames.de/], when he said that death now results in durability losses to equipped items, which may result in expensive repairs.
