At launch back in 1999, I started a Human Paladin. At level 16, I got on the boat to BB cause, ya know, I had to find out where that boat went. It stopped at sister island and some ranger pulled a MOB on to the boat and it killed him and then it killed me.
I re spawned back in Freeport and waited for the boat to show up thinking my corpse would be on the boat........It wasn't. Spoke to a GM, who was quite overwhelmed at the time being that the game had just launched, and said he couldn't find it anywhere. He did look for about two hours and couldn't find it. I just re-rolled a Human Shadow Knight instead and actually enjoyed it more.
Later, I was playing that Shadow Knight and we were in HHK and we wiped due to a train. Me and this Rogue re-spawned back in Freeport and we went into the noobie yard there and killed trash for weapons because we had nothing and it was along trek back. We fought our way thru HHP and died again, but eventually we got to our corpses and, much to our dismay, we were both replaced in the group and wound up leaving.
Out of that though, I made a good friend as we went into the Karanas and hunted together for hours.
I have more, I just have to go help my wife with dinner.
