The Crypt of Decay is a graveyard located beside the church in NECROPOLIS. It has a unique function. When certain conditions are met, players will be given a labelled gravestone. Rather than be 'buried', the grave will actually be opened. Via a spawner, zombies may emerge from this open grave. Dead players may be asked to provide a quote for this sign, and it must fit on two text-levels. To earn a tombstone, players must get banned and have completed at least one of the following in life:

• Had a residence in NECROPOLIS
• Donated to the museum in The Vaults of Zin, or otherwise been an Honorary Cultist
• Been standing in NECROPOLIS during the ban
• Done something else  Scampi_ deems worthy

Players with tombstones can rise from their graves and live forever through an undead avatar. Life after death!
