My rl friend was one of the original clerics on Solusek Ro server. Server first Donal's BP. Some of you may have known him- Bartholamow. Anyway, my friend played for years, was OG as fuck, highly respected, very good, but he kind of lost interest over time and was really on and off. One day a third friend of ours had a birthday party (we were like 15) and we wound up all spending the night LANing EQ and watching hentai for laughs. I got on my friend's cleric and ran around in Befallen or Najena, one of those zones. I wound up falling down a well into a jail cell with a KOS mob that was, I think, light blue con inside of it. The mob started attacking my friend's character and I realized he didn't have a gate memmed or any offensive spells, and also didn't have a melee weapon. My friend's level 60 cleric died at the bottom of a well in a level 20 zone where we were sure he wouldn't get it back without considerable effort- the rest of us were too low to help- and my friend basically said "fuck it, I'm done with this game anyway" and never got his corpse back.
I killed Bartholamow and I've spent years carrying that guilt. Every time I run into this guy at the bar or see him on Facebook I think about how I killed his cleric forever.
He recently started playing P99 though so I'm hooking him up to make up for it.
