I hate thinking back on this day. Many would just claim it was just dumb EQ luck, but pride killed me.

I played an Iksar Monk, loved him etc. I had the normal skills maxed like Mend, Sneak, FD, ID, etc. Up to that point I was able to pull Hate, Fear, Growth, along with Vindi and AoW without problems.

I get a /tell from an old friend that his guild was going after the General in Kith for the rogue epic piece. Could I just pull the General. I was like sure, no problem, piece of cake.

Well, my day started bad and went to worse.

I ended up with not one, but two bad pulls that ended up pretty much wiping out his entire guild/raid party twice. So not only did I look bad in front of my friend that asked me to pull I also looked like an ass to his guildmembers.

After the second crash, I /camped... Rolled up a Necro and soloed him all the way to 50+ before I ever logged my monk back into the game.

I have three they all turned out well in the end but man they were rough days.

I played a ranger on Vallon Zek from 00-05. I loved exploring everywhere and everything. One day I was exploring Paineel after I had factioned up and was wondering what would happen if I jumped off the big cliff by the zone in from Toxxulia. I had levitate on so I assumed I would land safely...heh, I landed at Yael's feet. My guild (being the awesome people they are) led a Hole raid to get my body. It ended up being a good thing as Yael dropped the Earthquake axe I think.

A while later I went exploring Kael Drakkel and figured out what could see invis and what couldn't. So I went running around all over the place looking and seeing what was what. I learned that day that the banker sees invis and I died at his feet somehow instead of the edge of his aggro range. So my guild led another raid to grab my body being the awesome people they were.

When I finally hit 52 I got to go on a HoT raid in ToV. Everything in ToV loved mesince I killed so many evil giants so I explored west wing and decided to explore the North wing...man I was stupid. I somehow made it a decent way into NToV before I suddenly was attacked (I never conned anything I assumed it all still loved me) and was killed where I stood. So after a long yelling session (thank god we didn't use TS or Vent) my guild went and got my corpse in NToV.

On the upside at that time a GM could have ported me to any zone in the game world and I'd know exactly where I was and how to get home. I also learned every sweet spot in the game to track pretty much any named I wanted (including Zlandicar from the top of DN which up to that time people thought was impossible).

I want to say I was in the mid 30s at the time; a wizard friend and myself were using levitate to explore the Ocean of Tears. We got separated on an island when my wizard friend started yelling for help. I immediately started searching for her and found her being chased by a giant lizard, Allizewsaur.

Needless to say we both died. Having been running around aimlessly we had no idea where we died. We spent hours just trying to find the island and hours more trying to find where on the ocean floor our corpses were.
