What's was your "dumb" EQ moment?

[Zaren]

Waaaay back in classic live (I was like 13):

As a level ~12 half elf warrior, I decided to journey all the way to Tox Forest (since I was a badass level 12, doubted much could hurt me). This was about a 12 hour endeavor, since I died in highpass (and bound in freeport, had a long CR), then I died in North Karana and had to find my corpse, and then I finally made it to Qeynos. Of course, I didn't bother getting bound (since I didn't know anything about how binding worked), and I decided to take the boat over to Toxxulia.

Once in Tox, there was a roaming NPC enchanter that found me and charmed me. I dont think I ever ran into him again in my future playing, perhaps someone knows what level/where he is, but he kept me charmed for the better part of an hour. I was scared shitless that I would die in Tox and never find my corpse, much less have to make the run, AGAIN, from freeport all the way over to Tox. Eventually, after constant recharms, I was able to get away and zone in time. I still remember the anxiety of that day.

And I might be able to top it with my next story. You have to realize this was "back in the day", and I made it to level 17 or so on my half elf warrior. I had hardly even seen anyone around who was higher level than me, and I was getting some pretty sweet XP for the past 5 levels from killing the barbarian fisherman on the short in North Ro. Of course, I had no idea what it meant when my freeport militia faction went down every time. Nor did I realize what would happen when I died, and was bound at the freeport gates.

So, inevitably, I died at some derv camp or something and spawned at the freeport gates.. and died instantly.. confused, I waited for it to reload.. and died instantly, again and again. Finally I made a level 1 and petitioned, waited for GM help, and the guide that showed up was just terrible. He said he'd summon me to elsewhere in the zone when I logged in, so I logged in. I died instantly a few more times, finally was summoned away, only to have the agro'd guards come hunt me down elsewhere in the zone. This happened a few more times until he finally summoned me to another zone. Oh, and he didn't rez me at all. I bet I had 3 or 4 days played on my character to get to level 17, and I dropped all the way down to 12 again. Worst day in EQ ever. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
