No it does not, but then again there are several maps where you can
hang around safely whilst friends get the exp for you. As there are
several maps that have multiple levels (stairsbetween 'rooms') which
really are one map. We thought about forcing players to be withing los
of each other and some other ways of doing it, but there really was no
fair way.

Besides if your friends are level 10 and you just died you are
worthless to them on level 1. Now they can party you to level 5 or so
without having to wait several hours before you are tough enough to
survive with them.
