Mine was on live, months after launch:
I was on my dark elf necromancer, my most powerful alter ego.
I was exploring the Karanas, a new area to my evil eyes.
I followed the walls because I was good at this game

Then I thought "I should bind, I'm so far into these planes and have no clue where I am", so I opened the spell book and bound.
Then I look over the hill squinting my eyes and am like, "hey look!" (My friend was at my house after school that day) A magic tree look how scary that thing looks! Its got RED EYES! wow!!!"
"Hmm is it moving towards me??"
"IT IS RUN!"
I hear that terrifying fire spell sound and BOOM dead. 1 shot.
Sad, oh well... I'm out here having fun so no biggie. I expected a death that's why I bound!
What I didn't realize is, that I ran, back onto the same spot where I just bound.
Suddenly I spawn..
I hear that fire spell sound....
BOOM DEAD.....
Like the kind of dead where you slide as you load.
OH NO!" we shouted. "WHAT DO!?"
It happened like 5 times until we invented the idea (between the two of us) and pulled the plug.
Now in 1999 5 deaths in a row was like basically deleting your character. Nobody could imagine such exp loss!
Well I couldn't.
And that's my story!
