Recently started playing again after having found p99 a couple of years ago (never got past 20, then forgot my server login info and had to start fresh)
One of my old EQ friends is also playing, she started playing an iksar and i am playing a halfling druid (honeyjum). I decided around level 16 that i wanted to go to field of bone, hang out with her and farm some spider silks for tailoring at the same time. DDOS hit when i was in TD on the shuttle, shuttle took off.. left me behind. Fastforward about 25minutes of skill level 1 swimming, dead out of nowhere. No big deal, had taken my gear off and banked it knowing i could pick it up in FV (thank god).
Back in TD, get on the boat, get to FV, yay. Start running (invis) to swamp of no hope, note a lack of drachnids that i really distinctly remember, all of a sudden dead again, i apparently was training a bunch of drachnids i couldn't see.
At no point during all of this did it occur to me to change my bind from Gfay. So i packed up and headed out again. Luckily i made it to swamp of no hope, got my body, things were peachy keen. The only way i remembered to get to field of bone from the swamp was down the west zone wall, then to cut across the newbie area. This part is unrelated to the DDOS but long story short, skeleton + invis = broken invis within HT range of the iksar pathing guard.
AGAIN I get back, get through TD, FV, swamp, get my body, get to field of bone, have a grand old time, do some kurns, farm some silks, thought DDOS was done. It hits again while i have a scaled wolf charmed, farming silks, die again, gfay -> FoB run again.
That was one day. Another day I spent a while in unrest during DDOS attacks and i really don't think I need to explain what that entailed, but it was a good 2 hours of me not thinking to rebind myself outside.
