Items on death

[Galleta]

Well, yesterday I died at the Bronze Dragons, and I ask somebody (I think it was Wirt) how long do items keep on the floor after someone died, and he said 180 seconds (3 min.).

Shouldn't it stay longer? It gives no time for the player to go and recover them..

That's the point, dying should be punishing.

Was the actual time for items on the ground in RS actually 3 minutes though? I can remember cases back in the day where i had enough time to scramble back and pick up my items after dying.
