What's was your "dumb" EQ moment?

no but seriously, i can't even post in this thread because there are too many to choose from.

You could talk about that time you wiped multiple times at lasna camp as a level 50 mage. Seems like a decent starting point.

didn't happen on P99, but I think my all-time embarassing EQ moment was getting CoH'd to our rivals raid in NToV. I didn't recognize the anchors name at all, and he wasn't guilded, so before I knew it i was hugging the wall preparing to engage Aaryonar with 40 people who couldn't have possibly disliked me anymore.

meanwhile my guild had our mage bot parked on the left side drake wall and were bypassing Aaryonar altogether. I missed the entire raid and had to get my corpse summoned in the morning....before school :X

edit: also due to this I missed a 4 AM ish Sleeper's repop where a Primal Spear rotted (i was a rogue on live also).

About 6 months into playing EQ back in early 2000, I remember having some noobie begging people in the zone for money. (something i despise) When he approached our group, one of my friends told him about the "Beg" command and how he can use it to get money from NPCs

So our new friend the level 5 dark elf necromancer decided to try his newly learned skill on Sargent Slate.... The screenshot that ensued was quite entertaining ... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On live, I would tell beggars to target me and then enable donation mode with /d. Another favorite was to go invis, drop a plat on the ground by newbie lift (back when you could do that) and sit on it and watch the newbies swarm trying to get to it.

I heard that one before

Also, alt+f4 brings up a map (this was before the maps were actually implemented, it made me lol)

I remember when the Hole came out and on my Druid kept trying to get in from the top, sooo determined to do so -- I would float over with Levitate and zone in, didn't realize it would strip your levi, being that I'm not the brightest color in the box, I did that a few times until I realized I'd need to figure out a different way. When I finally managed to fall right into the pond and happy for my accomplishments, I was summoned and killed instantly. Had to get a Necro to summon about 6 or 7 corpses ofc the last one was the one with all my shit on it!

Oh! And beyond the world of Classic EQ, I do recall getting lost in the round room in Bastion of Thunder, but we could always blame the weed for this? I try to water down the fact that I'm just really that directionally retarded!

Remember when you could drop coin on the ground? A high level Druid did that to me as I was walking through Freeport I kept seeing copper coin on the ground (kinda like "Oh! A piece of candy...Oh! A piece of candy!) and picked each one up until it led me to the arena and then I was killed -_- wow I have a lot of stupid moments...

Destroyed my self quested ghoulbane which was my first decent item ever, cause i thought its a fine steel 2hander. My RP-guild made me request it as trial to become a fullmember [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It was late after a long EQ session and I believe I was also drunk. I had just made a transaction that netted me a couple thousand plat (big money to me at the time). Rather than opening up the bank UI, I proceeded to open up a trade with the banker and hand him all my plat.

Palm -> Face when I immediately realized what I had just done.

Let's see..

Dinged 24, casted Cazic Gate got killed by mobs near spire, lost level and had no way to get back and had no clue where CT actually was.

Afking in Lfay... damn that horse

Believing a story that someone had begged 500p off of a vendor.
