Before I had the game installed I would go over to a friend's and watch him play EQ after school and we would unpause N64 whenever his char needed to med/heal up. That day he was playing his low level gnome caster in WC and a duo was killing the Nightfall Giant near the druid rings which, when it died, fell right on top of his gnome, hiding him completely from sight. After 2min the duo didn't loot up and the corpse was past the 5minute marker. So my friend looked at me after right-clicking the body and asked if he should loot its head. I said, of course loot it, but he was still contemplating.
After about 30sec he looted the head and backed away from the corpse just as it was disappearing. A few seconds later one of the duo'd players said in /say I saw you just ninja our shit! (or something to that effect) Both of us looked at each other and started panicking a little. But for whatever reason the duo didn't notice my friend's gnome really. They thought another player, who was also somewhat close by, had ninja looted the head.
As the duo began threatening that guy, saying how they were already petitioning him, my friend slowly backed his gnome away into a small crowd that had gathered around and then ran off to EC. We both agreed it would be better to wait a few days before putting the head in auction. He was never caught.
To the duo on the Tunare server and to the guy who got falsely accused/petitioned...my bad.
