Gold
,→Gold Loss on Death
There are no plans to include death penalties (outside of [[Hardcore]]) in Diablo III, aside from possibly some equipment durability loss. Players will not lose gold when they die, since the team doesn't feel this is a necessary or useful [[gold sink]]. Bashiok commented on it in October 2010:<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blue-no-death-penalties-required-in-d3/ Bashiok forum post] - B.net forums, October 25, 2010</ref>
<blue>You lost gold when you died in Diablo II and it was still worthless. Losing gold on death isn’t a necessary sink to make it worth something. Balancing gains and expenditures properly will make it worth something.<br>
That said, I don’t think we’ve made any final determinations on death penalties. Though I wouldn’t expect it to take anything away from the player. Gold, experience, etc.</blue>
