Can someone explain me what happens when you die?

Hi there Jze and welcome to UOR!

The section below is from the original Renaissance players guide & covers death and how to get your self back to life hope that helps

Death
It's said that the only things certain are death and taxes. In Ultima Online
death is certain (or very close to it), but fortunately it's not permanent. (Only
Lord British knows about the Britannia tax situation).
When your character is killed in the game, you will become a ghost. As a
ghost you can be resurrected without any loss to your statistics or skills by
finding a healer, a shrine, or even a powerful player mage.
Murderers who are killed automatically lose up to 20% of all stats and skills
(the exact effect depends upon how often and how recently they've killed,
and the penalty cannot reduce them below starting levels), as cosmic "payback"
for their evil deeds.

Being Dead
As a ghost, you leave most of your worldly possessions where you fall and
wander as a spirit in search of resurrection (spell books, practice weapons
and starting equipment will be with you when you resurrect). When your
ghostly character gets to a shrine, a healer or a sufficiently powerful mage,
you can be restored to life.
Note that while shrines and healers will automatically resurrect any ghost in
their immediate area, a PC mage has to know you're there, and it's his own
choice whether to help or not.
Shrines do you no good if you are a murderer. Shrines restore any other
characters, but not murderers. (There are rumors of a so-called "Chaos
Shrine" at an unknown location, where murderers are raised).
While you're dead you can pass invisibly, or you can "manifest" so that others
can see you. Your ghostly character will be invisible if you're in Peace
mode and visible in War mode.A ghost can pass through doors and certain
other objects, but not through solid walls. If you try to communicate while
in spirit form, anything you try to say will appear to the living as inarticulate
wailing. Characters who possess the Spirit Speak skill can try to understand
your moans. Ghosts cannot directly affect the physical world in any way.
They cannot use any skills or attacks. Manifested ghosts do sometimes fright·
en NPCs.

Healers
Healers can resurrect you when you die. Most wear brown robes and you
can find them in Healer shops in town. When you enter, they will ask you if
you wish be healed or if you want to remain a ghost. Take your pick. If you
are a criminal or a murderer, however, the healer may refuse to help you.
When you're a new player you can also use healers to heal your non-fatal
injuries.

Wandering Healers
Some healers wander the countryside, performing their good deeds in the
manner of the more settled healers.

Shrines
You can find Shrines in most cities and towns. If you enter a Shrine as a ghost
you will automatically be resurrected.
