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

[azeth]

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.
