I also played a necromancer on live, and yes they can summon corpses, and yes they don't do it much anymore after the guild hall due to the fact that guild halls can just summon the corpse for you so there was never really any point after that...
That being said if I remember correctly I think the problem with the summoning of only your own corpse and not others was an issue embedded with the need to do self cast instead of target cast and the difficulties of summoning a targets corpse instead of your own from that... at least thats what I think I read somewhere oh so long ago heh... Anyways I'm sure someone could find a work-around (like making an npc in guild hall to do it for you, if you could get a spell to summon a corpse across zones) and eventually someone will fix it, but probably not too high on the priority list /shrug.
PS This thread is also pretty ancient so I don't know if it really is all that popular of a topic as nobody had posted for something like six months heh
