Corpse last longer so you can run back and retrieve some of your gear

We will try to fix this when I get back on Sunday, please don't ask more about the subject.

Now the loot is stored in a box next to the corpse. The corpse will despawn i 60 minutes if no one comes close to the box. But if someone gets closer than 15 meters from the box the box will despawn in 15 minutes

What Jan means is that the corpse management is done by exile and shouldn't get touched by us in the first place. However, now we have a great system with which your corspe container box lasts 60 minutes and refreshes another 60 min if you get into range of it!
