@danderson Valheim has a similar thing. If you accidentally wander into a biome you can't handle and get killed, and can't get your stuff back, there's a loot retrieval squad you can get in touch with. You give them your game details and they'll hop in and grab your stuff back for you.

The game has random events and some of the late game ones are triggered when certain items are present in game, so they figured out what gear and items they can bring in for recovery without screwing up the game.
