So at original launch of EQ back in 99 my friend Jeff was the first to buy the game. Since the rest of my friends and I were poor college students we would play on his account whenever he wasn't home. Our friend Donnie had decided to start a Monk. Jeff would sometimes get mad at us for being on his computer all of the time. He would say "come on I have a project to work" or "Dammit I want to play log your character off." We would of course do this as soon as we could camp at safe spot, except Donnie. Donnie always had an excuse to not get off right away, one time Jeff waited over an hour for him to get off. Jeff would even wake to the clicking of his keyboard and look and see Donnie playing. Finally Jeff had enough of this and decided to do something about it. So Donnie left for class one day and Jeff, with me watching, logged on to Donnie's monk. He swan it out to the middle of Lake Rathetear and let him drown then logged back out of his character. Needless to say Donnie was only about level 6 so his swimming skill was horrible. When Donnie tried to log in when he got home he found his monk naked. Asking Jeff if he knew what happened Jeff replied "yeah I drowned that bitch and good luck getting your corpse back." Jeff told Donnie where it was and needless to say Donnie could not recover his corpse because he would drown before he could get all the way down, loot and get back up. After multiple tries and dropping all the way down to level 5 again Donnie gave up. Thus ends the tale of Donnie's Monk.
PS We all eventually got our own accounts, even Donnie, and played the game for many years.
