I shared my first death experience recently. A newbie high elf meets a skunk, but one other does stick out as one of my first memories. The classic fall to your death from Kelethin.
I was fascinated with GFAY, and to this day it still fascinates me. What a great success of a zone. I remember falling from Kelethin after my newb scroll turn in, and deciding to hunt for my corpse myself. Relogging and recreating would take so very long on a dial-up modem. I'm quite sure it took an hour or longer, and only for me to retire the woodelf for a mage :P It was rough back then when you didn't know tricks such as spam /target Mieva's
Oh, and that terrible day where you are curious and ignorant and decide to turn in your Discord book on a PvE server. You maybe invest a few hours in to your char, then stumble upon the correct NPC for the book turn in. Curiosity gets the best of you, and panic can set in once you realize what you have done. I believe I had rerolled then as well as I didn't quite understand the capabilities of a GM. They were simply mythical beings at the time. Rumors.
