Your worst corpse run - Page 4

I couldn't think of my worst CR story until thie above was posted. I was never really guilded until Luclin era but used to lead pick-up Hate/Naggy raids on my server. Just sent out tells until I got 30+ people together and port up or head to naggy. You can guess they went about as well as a 15 year old leading raids with random people in places hed never been, but we did decently well. <2 hours to start killing stuff in Hate and didn't wipe too often to naggy. It almost started to get a little popular with the non-raid guilded people, and one day we decided pick-up fear raid! yay! Of course I had no clue what the fuck I was doing but I was leading the raid, getting some help from others who had been there before. I think it was around 10 hours of attempting before we finally got enough people in the corner to kill mobs/CR everyone, at which time I had to log and probably handed over the raid leader reigns to someone much more qualified.

My worst (out of many) CR was on my way to a Tormax raid with my guild. I got turned around in Kael and ended up dead inside Iceshard Keep. My guild dropped everything and came to rescue me. I felt like crap and happy to have such good friends at the same time.

a) Plane of Fear, don't need to say much more. Multiple hours spent on corpse recoveries without killing a single mob, a lot of us have been there.

b) During PoP they revamped the Droga zone and added higher level mobs / better drops. Two items in particular were extremely valuable, so I used to camp them on my shaman a LOT. My shaman was ntov/luclin raid geared. Well, one day something went wrong and I died. No big deal, I ran back over to where I died, only I couldn't find my corpse. I typed /corpse and it said I didn't have a corpse in the zone. This is where I started panicking, somehow my corpse had auto-poofed right when I died. It took me a long time of petition escalations to finally talk to the #2 GM on the server. He said the only person who had any power to look into the issue and possibly reimburse my gear was the server's GM Admin. Unfortunately, he just happened to be on vacation for a week. It was even longer than that before I was able to get in touch with him, and his response was basically I was screwed because "I waited too long."

This is when I quit EQ.

The only CR that really sticks out in my mind was on Tallon Zek. I was just strolling through SRo on my level 30-something shaman and I spot the AC. I pull him and dot him up, and I'm so nervous fighting him that I'm visibly shaking... I was 13 at the time, couldn't control my excitement, what can I say. I knew that if I got that ring, I could MQ it and be "rich" (MQs were selling for a lot back then). Anyway, I've got him at about 40%, and two druids show up and start snaring/dotting/nuking me. They were both a little lower, and I turned around for a moment and tried to fight... but I'm thinking no, I've got to get the AC down before they kill me and take it.

In desperation, I start spam-nuking the AC, and I drop him when I'm at about 5%. I know that his prized drop is the ring that everyone wants MQ'ed all the time, so I quickly right click the body, and there it is. The ring. First thing that caught my eye... he had a FS weapon and something else too that I really didn't get a chance to look at. So I right click the ring and die immediately after.

--You have looted a Silver Ring.--

You have got to be kidding me. I'm bound in Grobb, so I am busting my ass back to SRo to get to the body before it unlocks. I get there, and one of the halflings is looting the body. I'm pleading with them to not take the ring, then the halfling gets off the body, and it sparkles away. I was so upset, and so mad at myself that for not knowing that the "ring" actually looks more like a belt.

I've never died in Everquest, ever, so I've never had a bad corpse run. What's dying like?

Soloing in Hate during the Ykesha-era revamp. As I was working deeper into the zone from the new port-in, I flubbed a Magi P`Tasa pull and got clobbered.

As you might begin to imagine, it's rather difficult to recruit a Wizard, a Cleric and a Necro to pull your sorry ass out of a zone nobody on the server is actively raiding, or has raided in years.

Took me a good 2 days to convince all the right people.

Any run involved in whole or in part with Siren's Grotto or Western Wastes.

-Didn't have a Pegasus Cloak then.
-Gnomes couldn't tinker lev items yet.
-Did have an invis item.

Even though I wasn't KOS to dragons, it -never- failed that a wolf, worm or that stupid ROS dragon out there would track me down from 12000 miles away and turn me into a Rorschach test in the snow.

My dad once died in a bugged pool of blood in crushbone back on live with a low level ranger... think he was blinded by a shaman mob or something, I don't really remember how he got in there. Anyway, he jumps back into the pool to loot the corpse, and when he tries to get out he fails. Not only can he not get out of the pool, he can't even get to fresh air and drowns to death 30 seconds later. He figures he'll figure it out later and leaves for work. A week later he remembers that his ranger died in crushbone, and he logs on to discover he lost all the gear.

How do you forget that your ranger died? Shouldn't that be default? Oh, let me log onto everquest to corpse run my ranger... huh, he didn't die last session

I had a 36 ranger in WW to track the bane dragon & nameds. He had 1 gate potion on him for when we were done with that stupid dragon lol. He didn't die =(. I even got him across SG without a Succor =P.

I remember dieing deep in seb once, before the keys were soulbound, and having to do the sebilis key quest naked so that I could zone in and get a necro summon. That sucked.
