Until you die trying to reclaim your gear. Also recreating the gear I originally died in without trying to reclaim it takes time, especially if the Swamps are in an island far away. I mean, I died in the Mountains area that's closer than the Swamps area!

Even if you die trying to reclaim your gear it WONT disappear... the corpse will still be there, it just wont be visible on the map.

Its a massive waste of time to delete worlds and character data, theres no reason to... you can always regain what you lost and your character will improve over time due to those passively increasing skills.

You cant regain skills easily if you delete everything, like you can with materials.
+ the base youve spent building for hours.
Me and my friend have been coop playing since launch every once in a while and our skills vary... our running is about the same at around 70 give or take. Even with a few deaths.

It takes a long time to increase those character stats so deleting it completely is not a good idea imo. Also why would anyone delete their world? its not like you lose everything from one death... you can always grind it back but it wont take as long as it does when you start from scratch.
