As of 0.61 stable, there are a LOT of new enemy spawn locations to include wolves and infected. While the additions are appreciated, the random server deaths are not.
There was an instance where a server death may have been warranted. I was chased by a pack of wolves and went to hide in a hunter's blind. They couldn't actually reach me but I had no practical means to kill the wolf pack. (I was only a 2-hour old spawn with not enough ammo). This trapped me in the blind so I had to log out. Once I did, the server killed me and next time I logged in, it was as a fresh spawn.
I also never received a message that I died. The only indication that I have is that when I log into a server, it is as a fresh spawn. There wasn't a "You Died" message.
Additionally, this particular incident happened because when I logged in, the wolf pack instantly started hunting me. When I was safe, they would not disengage.
