Did you ever lose your gear on live through a corpse rot?

[Floraline]

Yes, I was in my early 20's playing a 40 something paladin. Cash was limited and I died just before my sub was going to hit and I didn't at the time have funds to cover it. Once I got everything squared away and logged back in, my corpse had rotted. My guild banded together and regeared me, and I think my gear was even better than before!
