About "Death" in D3.

Hello people of these boards.

I have recently been reading and watching diffrent threads about Diablo 3 and all it options and what will be new compared to Diablo 2 & 1.
And eventually stumpled into a thread about the death in Hardcore mode in Diablo 3 as an idea. Which was something about You get a speciel quest and either you go Hell or Heaven.. Whatever the outcome is..

But then I got an idea. And sorry for the wall of text used..

The staff of Diablo 3 is talking about somekind of waypoint death for the softcore part. And Hardcore as your death forever. In Softcore they want us to lose something when we die. So its just not like "Hah I died, I brb people, I need a drink" And then spend a little time running back to the action of where you died. And some gold cost...

But then what about adding something like a "Scroll of Resurrection" or a spell, which is hard to obtain and there can only be one obtained in each game or per character. And then some really hard quest to get it. Like adding a twist. So in Softcore they would maybe add a high gold cost or a waypoint far away. Which would make you have to spend more time getting back to the action. Unless you got this "Scroll" then your are able to instantly getting back to the action with no penalty paid. Assuming gold be a big part of D3 economic so it will hurt.
And then for the Hardcore part.. We all experienced it.. In hell or nightmare diffiiculti some retard didnt learn how to clear a room or there was a lag. Or somekind of big damaging attack that just killed your character. And you was death for good. And then cursing this noob, lag or whatever which cursed this accident, that could otherwise be avoided. But then with this "Scroll" you are able to ressurrect.

But ofcourse this could be abused so you would never die. Thats why they could add like a time period. "If you arnt ressurected in less than x-time you will be dead forever" to give you a second chance.
This "Scroll of Resurrection" should then be temporarily which means if you did obtain it then it will disappear when you leave the game aka if the person holding this scroll leaves. This quest will only be able to be completed once each game. Which will only give you one of these scrolls. And it should be a high level quest. So you have to go through the game without the scroll to even start obtaining it.

So what are you feedback to this? Or any ideas to add.
Just some regulary response on this idea.
