Your worst corpse run

[mgellan]

I was about a 25-30 Shaman with a newly completed set of Totemic - and I was lookin' goooooood.

You know that message when you /follow "Don't do it around water cliffs etc.?" It's especially important not to auto-follow when entering Paineel and skirting The Hole.

Yep, one shiny Shaman, into The Hole. I even had a chance to open my spellbook, and try to mem Levitate on the way down LOL. Not that it would have done me any good. I landed at the feet of Master Yael (?) and died.

If I didn't understand why someone might put a gun to their heads over a game, I understood then - after an hour of frantic pleading a wonderful Necro summoned my corpse and an equally wonderful Cleric rezzed me, good as new. Cost me all the plat I had for a coffin but boy was I happy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My worst experience ended in a failed CR.
In 2000, I was moving to Florida from Alberta (in Canada). I had my Lvl 50 Wizard and was having a look around just before I had to finalize my packing as the movers were coming. This new zone had opened and I wanted to go have a quick look. It was called 'The Hole'. No problems! I ported to Tox and headed into Paineel. I cast levitate on me and headed into the hole via the huge hole on the ground.. (the wrong way, not through the proper entrance) I zone in, levitation was gone and I plummeted to my death at the bottom.. Crap! Okay, I will try the same approach but cast levitate once I zone it and then float down... Nope! Dead again, next to my other corpse (and many others who also fell to their death). I tried a few more and then actually took time to read the patch notes / message of the day. It mentioned that levitate does not work in the zone.. Doh! I petitioned and explained to the guide that I was moving and had to leave that day and would not be back online for a couple of weeks and didn't want to lose my corpse. He explained hat he was not allowed to help or res me. So, I shut down my system and moved the next day. When I finally was able to get back on, my corpse was gone along with all of my gear.. Manastone, Box of AbuKar, SMR, GBS, etc. All of it off mobs which I had killed.(nothing bought). I tried playing him after that but it was not the same (with garbage gear.). I wound up retiring him and rolled my enchanter which I thoroughly enjoyed.
