My first ever EQ death was a skunk on live. It felt like the end of my EQ experience, it was horrible. I spent care, and probably hours of time customizing a high elf mage. My starter robe was my most prized possession. I had a spell or two. I had chatted with NPCs, and discovered I could use /shout to get the attention of other players (poor etiquette of course I know now). I eventually ventured out in to the Greater Faydark...
I recall the countless noob allies slaughtering bats, and skeletons. I didn't quite understand combat yet, so I chose to explore. I listened to the song of a faerie for a quick minute. Gawked at the large obelisks (Combine Spires). Continued down a path to a sudden mountain path. My very first adventure! I was so excited, and as I came to Butcherblock Mountains I approached a skunk. Not yet understanding the /con system, I decided to take the skunk to meet his maker. I was dead so very fast that I didn't understand what had happened. My prized robe was gone, and would have rotted days later. A cloth shirt became my new prized possession until I came across a cracked staff...
Skunks guys!
LIKE DIS IF IT MAKE u CRY ERTIME!1!!
Seriously though. Emperor D'vinn would single handedly wipe out all 30, 40, maybe 50+ newbs in Crushbone. That is quite impressive. He was desired for his dagger, and many failed attempts to acquire it meant for a bloodbath. That mage that spawns near the moat was a nightmare as well, but was he added later? Just what the newb zone needed... Another mob to keep the newbs at their bind points :P
