Side note on the old pre nerf mask of deception. When I first got into the game I made a Dark Elf SK and couldn't find my way out of Neriak 3rd gate. yeah, we all had that happen.
Anyway, after making it to like level 10 I decided that I didn't like being hated everywhere, and wanted to be a Ranger instead. But I really liked the name I had and the gear I had accumulated (partial small banded, partial tattered leather, a FS longsword and a FS 2h sword + bags).
I decided to try an experiment. I put everything on the character, had a guard in freeport kill me, and then I logged off and deleted my character. I made a brand new level 1 Wood Elf ranger and ran it to the boat in Butcherblock. I took the boat over to freeport and *looted* the dark elf corpse - because my character's name matched.
My friend told me I was full of utter shit but then he inspected me and saw the same crap gear. Word got out, and people that had the pre nerf mask on mid level alts that they knew they weren't going to level suddenly killed them off and re rolled, looting the No Drop mask on their new level 1 characters.
This was on old Fennin Ro server, before the /consent command allowed people to drag your corpse instead of looting what was on it. Sadly a patch swiftly closed off both of those old situations.

One of my first memories was my first char a Dwarf Paladin that had just hit 9 with about the same crap level of gear but upon dying outside Crushbone and not knowing how to get back there someone messaged me and said they would help me get my stuff if I consented them. Anyways they took all of my stuff and I rerolled an evil toon since the people on that side of the world were dicks apparently. So glad that was later nerfed.
