What's was your "dumb" EQ moment?

[Raavak]

You mean like lately or ever? I do dumb stuff all the time, ask any cleric that knows me.

Yesterday morning I clicked the white shield spell and ran into KC, but aggroed the Drolvargs. After zoning I realized I had cast "see invis". Sorry anyone who was at zone, TT.

And then followed it up by "camping" at KC zonein, but forgot to hit camp or something. Six hours later a guildmate posted on the forum that I was online and my corpse timer was almost up. And I was bound in DL, at a spot without roamers but not necessarily safe. For all I know I was deleveled back to a noob. And I was stuck at work irl on top of it and helpless. Thanks to Uthgaards help I don't appear to be any worse for the wear.

For me, way back when I first played in 1999, I discovered autofollow....in Kelethin.

A friend of mine joined EQ in 2000, and made a Wizard. He got to level 12 and got Bind Affinity. He thought it was a good idea to bind himself in the middle of an EC orc camp. Later that night he fell asleep at his keyboard. He woke up level 8 getting a few rusty short swords shoved up is a$$ by some orc centurions.

Other kind of dumb shit I used to do, when POP came out, my brother and I found a way to get to the very top of that tall castle in POK and we bound ourselves up there. Sometimes after being killed, Id return to that bind spot, forget to throw on lev and run off to go do a corpse recovery...doh.

Other times using the Mage lev rings, my bro and I would play levi bungee jumping. Basically we would run off the roof of the castle and try to click the levi ring before we went splat. To make it more fun, we would try to distract eachother while doing it. Still to this day on live, our main characters are still bound on the top of the tall castle in POK lol.

You know what, this just gave me a cool idea. Whever someone does something stupid or has something bad happen to them on EQ, go post about it on fmylife.com lol.

I was a wizard with levitation, and there was this gaping hole in Paineel, begging to be explored...

[maestrom]

It was a nice evening. I had just gotten home from work and I logged into the everquest. My guild was raiding Solusek Ro's Tower. The guild was doing to rather long process of ghetto porting the un-flagged folks into Sol Ros chamber because a lot of my guild couldn't be bothered with silly things like flagging. Anyways I found myself in plane of fire where I had logged out after kiting tables (as a bard). I made my way over Sol Ro's tower and hit the beautiful beautiful song, Selo's Accelerating Chorus. Clicked into Sol Ro Tower, saw a few of his troops up and laughed as I ran right by them. As I expected, they took off after me and gathered quite a few friends on the way. I made it up to the port up, hit Fading Memories (beautiful) and told the raid leader I was there.

About 15 seconds later someone yelled train. I laughed at whatever idiot was about to get a ton of mobs coming down on his head. They were coming straight for our raid though! This couldn't be good. 20ish mobs against an unbuffed mostly afk raid force wasn't gonna be good. especially when our main tank had already ported up. then I saw it. I was oom and had been when I clicked FM but i didn't notice the "no mana" message because bards don't care about such things. Wiped the raid, set us back a half hour. /idiot off.

it wasn't the entire raid, just the couple of groups who didn't have the flag to get up to his room that were waiting for ghetto port. less than 15 people. Fortunately a cleric was AFK (and out of range) and lived and started ressing people immediately. It was kind of a best case scenario wipe.

Hah! This!!!
The day the hole opened was the day I was moving from Western Canada to South florida and we were driving down (4 day drive). I wanted to have a quick look in the hole so I cast levitate on my 50 wizard and stepped off into the void. As I entered the hole, levitate was gone and I splattered at the bottom. I tried a few times to fix this issue (like casting right after loading into the zone, etc). So I died many times. I petitioned, explaining that I was moving and would not be able to get online for quite a while. The guide who responded would not help (I understand why). So, I lost my corpse.. (goodbye mana stone, guise, Box of AbuKar, etc). Yeah.. that... sucked.
A year later I was chatting with the server GM and mentioned to her what had happened. She said I should have petitioned again as they would have restored my corpse but too much time had passed since then.. (double-doh).

When I first started playing I tried to sit down at the camp fire outside of Surefall Glade and strike up a conversation with the NPCs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Your the first person to actually fall asleep to the sound of rain and thunder in EQ. The rest of us find it highly annoying because its the same .au over and over.
