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

[Jimjam]

On p99 rotted corpses are restored.

On live, we did not have this nicety.

Did you ever lose all your gear through a corpse rot on live? Which item did you most regret losing?

My level 10 high elf wizard died somewhere random in Lesser Faydark, near an orc camp...in a dip in the landscape somewhere.

I hunted for it and kept dying. I found my naked corpses but the equipped one rotted. I rerolled [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] lol

Only once. My corpse rotted in kc when i was level 55ish and the gms would not restore it. This was 2001-02. I quit out near entrance and died somehow. Came back a week later with nothng but what i had in bank.

I'd wager if you had pushed the issue aggressively you would have gotten your gear back. Back when Verant/Sony had a business to run, as a paying customer ... there's no reason they would have denied that unless there was evidence of shenanigans.

I had my account stripped and the GMs investigated, agreed it had been somebody on a different continent who had done the deed, didnt restore any items though

in 1999/2000 I rolled a Human Ranger named Onusin on the Druzzil Ro server, my first character.

My friends in real life told me I rolled the wrong server, and i was stubborn and decided to play him anyways.

Extremely early on into my adventures, lvl 4-5 tops, a lvl 40 something bard (wood elf) ran from Freeport to Surefall Glade ZL in Qeynos Hills specifically to find a newbie to hand items to.

I was a ranger and could not wear the ENTIRE SUIT of small and medium bronze he handed me in 8 slot backpacks. Instead I sold them (in 1999, at lvl 4, first character ever, for 1000 platinum).

I was rich.

Shortly after receiving this wealth I purchased a Polished Granite Tomahawk, and a piece of Ivy Etched etc etc. I was styling.

My luck continued... a druid and ranger of high level popped into Qeynos Hills from WK to shout "GHOUL MESSENGER UP, FIRST RANGER HERE GETS HELPED!"

i was the first ranger there.

We found, and hunted the messenger. I looted, and we begin a fully escorted run (hours, this is 1999) to Kithicor Forest to turn in for the Short Sword of Morin.

I received my Short Sword, had a PGT, at this point multiple Ivy Etched... I was level 6, just waiting for dual wield at 13.

From Kithicor I was told there was good hunting in EC for my level, I headed there.

I zoned in and started following the left wall, as I was told to, equipped with a nice SoW and invis.

I made it as far as the Nightfall Giant, who slayed me.

I arrived in Qeynos Hills naked, having died only a couple times prior to that and knowing I needed to retrieve my corpse.

In real life, as this realization occured, my dad yelled upstairs "Bud lets go, what the fuck!"

It was family vaca time... 7 days in Maine later my corpse was gone.

So I rolled Azeth on Rodcet Nife with my friends.

[Brut]

Yes but didn't know GMs could give em back so didn't try petitioning.

Died zoning between Freeport and Commons and my corpse just poofed somewhere inside the zonewall. Don't think I knew about /corpse so didn't try that, not sure. Looked for a long while and just started over after. Years YEARS later they added the veteran AAs that let you summon corpses, and I swear I got my Bloodforge Hammer and set of Patchwork back at long last.

Hey fellow Nifer!

Somewhat similar. Worked at Circuit City - this new game was the rage. Picked it up and rolled a human wiz with a coworker as a human war on Karana. Didn't have much other than a lightstone, a runed totem staff someone gave me, and my newb robe. Now that I can look back on it - I'm pretty sure my corpse was at the derv camp in WC and I was just convinced it was in EC (was only level 5).

Anyway it worked out in the end; when I re-rolled (again human wiz [Qien]) on Rodcet I accidentally duped my corpse just after looting a greater lightstone so I was living the newb dream. (Apparently if you died at the right time as the server was being shut down, you'd end up with a corpse and your clothed self. I had no idea - I just really wanted that wisp to die and thought I could pull it off...)

Oh the times we had...
