Combat log
The body stays
Short answer
Leaving mid-fight is a reputation. The game tries to keep a body. Community rules add bans.
Also: combat logging
How it works
Combat logging is disconnecting to dodge a death. Official still leaves a body sometimes. Don't treat it as a mechanic to use.
What to do
Finish the fight or die. Relog after, not during.
Don't
Don't write a how-to dodge here.
