This story took place sometime in mid to late 1999 as I was lv 44 when it occurred. Me and a few other guild members went to camp Shadow men in Nek Forest for fun and help someone get a rapier for Jboots. As it was already very late I was dozing in and out of consciousness. I Was so tired that I happen to actually pass out at the keyboard in my computer chair.(Wasn't the first or last time this occurred)
I wake up a few hours later, wipe the drool from my mouth and keyboard, to see that I am not in Nek forest anymore but Upper Guk/Lower Guk zoneline. (My bind spot at the time) What had happened was my guildies noticed I was afk/unresponsive and tried to guard me as long as possible before they all had to log for the night. I was killed by a shadow man and then proceeded to be killed over and over again at the zone line due to trains/etc. If I can recall I ended up waking up to lv 39, When I was well into lv 44 going to sleep. I ended up heading back to my original corpse, looting it and immediately doing a /quit. I took maybe a day or two off and then came back and grinded all those levels including hell level 40 all over again.
The best part was a guild Leader saw my corpse at shadow men in the morning, Did a /who "my toons name" and rushed to Lguk. He ended up guarding my toon for an hour or so before I woke up. A few ended up coining a nick name/term after me for someone who would go AFK for a while during a raid. They would constantly joke that maybe they fell asleep at the keyboard as I had.
