ofcourse Abaddon didnt die... if now Abaddon would die there is no chance of him being killed by a bunch of weak mortals. we only "think" that we killed him. tbh now i think that Abaddon is chilling with his homie Dhuum in a underworld palace. btw if your a god and u get killed by mortals you fail big time.
It really is unknown. It seems likely that, unlike Dhuum, there isn't going to be a little Abaddon running around causing trouble afterwards, but it's been theorised that there's a little core of Abaddon left in Kormir that may eventually take over...
...or that there was a little core of the god that Abaddon supplanted that first corrupted Abaddon and is now working on Kormir.

I think the only way for Abaddon to 'die' is to have no living thing in existence who remembered (regardless of in fear or reverence) his existence including margonites. It kinds of explains why other gods try to destroy every shrines on the surface world which are erected in his resemblance; to deny him of worshipers to strengthen his powers. The same logic could applied to why Dhumm and Menzies didn't die because they still have demons and minions who believe in their existence.
Well... we don't know what happened with Dhuum and Menzies exactly, so Kormir's ascension may in fact be a little more 'final' than Dhuum being cast down by Grenth.
Your theory is possible, but an alternate hypothesis is that the gods just wanted to minimise the possibility of somebody doing something to wake him up (or to make sure that if he did get wakened that there was someone who'd done enough digging that they'd make a suitable candidate for the role).

could the same be said for The Lich and Shiro?
The difference between them is that Abaddon was eaten by Kormir. Grenth, however, "wasn't powerful enough" to eat Dhuum this way, so Dhuum was imprisoned instead. (Although since Lyssa and Kormir said that assuming Abaddon's mantle was "a choice only a mortal could make", maybe the truth was that Grenth, by already being more than mortal, was too powerful already to absorb all of Dhuum's power.)
From reading bits and pieces of lore for Guild Wars, it seems that the Gods of Tyria aren't as powerful as some other gods from other cultures may be.
Please correct me if I am wrong and this has been disproved before, but maybe when a God comes to the world, they are less powerful, and able to be killed by mortals.

Well, they certainly lack the omnipotent quality, but that's a natural result of being a polytheistic pantheon.
On the whole, I'd guess they're on a similar level to polytheistic pantheons in Earth's mythology, such as the Norse gods - which is to say, quite powerful by human standards, but they still have enemies that can rival them in power.
