Your worst corpse run
 

This actually happened to my real life buddy.

---He created a Bard in freeport and decided to run it to Qeynos before school.
---Twinked it with over 100k in gear.
---Was level 5.
---Ran from Freeport to Qeynos and a lion killed him in North Karana.
---He had school in 30 minutes.
---Back then your body had a 30 minute decay timer if you were under level 6.
---He couldn't get a port so he had to run it.
---Made it with under a minute left on his corpse.

/shrug anytime I randomly decided to log on wasted. Run around, get myself killed and then not remember I even played.

Meh. All my bad CR's were on Sullon, lol.

How long ago did they get rid of the 30 minute corpse timer on corpse that had gear?

A story from solro:

A lvl 50 guy was bound somwhere he was kos. He fell asleep while online, woke up and was lvl 5 :D

Better yet, how does a bard with selos get killed by a lion especially if he's wearing 100k in armor?

This was during the Velious days. I think, only a month or so before Luclin.

Good question Guineapig. I'm not sure how he managed to die with all of that gear. I do remember waiting to hitch a ride to school and him panicking because he died.

Sorry to derail the thread. Back on point:

My worst corpse runs have actually been on this server since back when I played on live travel was somewhat easier already and there were so many people online all the time that could help.

Most recently I had a fun corpse run involving server lag. A level 4 or 5 alt of mine died in Crushbone shortly after making the run all the way from Halas. Couldn't find a bind but wasn't worried cause the alt was twinked out pretty well. Of course good gear knowing how to play doesn't help during a lag death. And Halas is the most impossible place to find a port in classic to begin with and half the server was offline anyway due to the lag.

still one of my scariest experiences in EQ was going into blackburrow for the first time and walking into that tree near the entrance with the false floor. I was like a lvl 7 rogue or something, i tried frantically to find my way out to no avail of course haha. I was a huge noob then and had no chance of finding my corpse and just re-rolled.

Wipe in fear and a monk had to loot everyone's corpse and zone out to transfer loot individually
