Dude, Where's My Corpse?

Ok,
usually I don't spend much time complaining about bugs, and I know we just went through a major update & there are
bound to be some, but this is just downright annoying. Both my teammate & I got jumped by a couple of
slightly-higher level Horde in Stranglethorn Vale, and when we awoke as ghosts, our graves were nowhere to be seen on
the mini-map, and when we finally found & reached our corpses, there was no option to rez; we had to high-tail it
all the way back to the spirit healer. Now I remember why I hate death penalties so darn much...A few other people on the server are having the same problem; any of you guys out there unable to return to the land of the living?

I saw some people with this problem, and with the similar problem of finding their corpse but not being able to rez. Logging out and back in solves the problem.

is this on Lightninghoof?

It is indeed on Lightninghoof that it happened to me....

Happened to me a few times when I was on Hyjal.
I ticketed a GM the first time, and they said to log out and back in. Worked like a charm. I did the same thing on the second occasion (without ticketing a GM) and I could find my corpse.

Yeah, I fixed it by doing just that...but had an Orc Rogue camping me throughout the entire episode...

It actually happened to me on Shadowsong. I made it to the corpse ok but i couldn't rez. By some ungodly coincidence a guildie walked right over my corpse and resurrected me. I did page a GM but there was no point after that.

Happened to me ages ago on EU-Dragonmaw, except the Spirit Healer wasn't working either. We had a ton of ghosts hanging around in Tarren Mill chatting on /1 and trying to make haunting emotes. It got a bit spoilt once we started relogging :)

Happened to me last night on Gul'Dan. It must be the patch. Seems like there are still a few bugs. I didn't log out and back in, I just rezzed at a Spirit Healer. But now I know that handy trick for future reference. Thanks :)

My buddy in my guild had this problem. II told him to just log and come back on and it worked with no problem.
This is on Sargeras.

Just re-logged in, it will solve the problem.

I am still stuck over there. Not able to solve it. I tried re-logging but all it vein.

Yes, this used to be a problem during the WoW release too. As soon as you don't see the corpse arrow/icon on the minimap, just sit down and relog.

Same story happened to me on mannoroth twice. Relogging worked the first time but the second time I tried to relog, it took about 10 minutes before I could get on again.
