Death Glitch

The death glitch is a commonly observed glitch. It involves the animation on a player or non-player character in the death animation position when it is actually alive. The bug is client-side, and as such, has never been fixed. Players are only occasionally subject to this glitch, often in high-mortality locations such as Castlewars, TzHaar Fight Pit, Duel Arena, and Pest Control.
