actually, my worst corpse run was on P99 running from qeynos to fp at lvl 5

1st try: coming from qeynos zoned into highholdpass, thought "np on live there have been like 4 gnolls, can outrun them" different story here...had like 15 gnolls instakilling me

2nd try: coming from qeynos again, zoned into runyeye, thought "np on live there have been some low mobs at zone in, ill just outrun them" wrong again...mobs chainrooting me, died again

3rd try: a druid sowed and invised me, worked [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

still one of my scariest experiences in EQ was going into blackburrow for the first time and walking into that tree near the entrance with the false floor. I was like a lvl 7 rogue or something, i tried frantically to find my way out to no avail of course haha. I was a huge noob then and had no chance of finding my corpse and just re-rolled.

Wipe in fear and a monk had to loot everyone's corpse and zone out to transfer loot individually

On here, Lost 2 bodies in the lava in sol a while leveling up. Luckily, there were enough people there to help me recover( that was the original mad leveling train)

On live, i was 9 years old, and lost my body in the freeport area when i was level 12 because my dad killed me and had to go to work -_-. He accidentally died to a griffon in EC before getting to Freeport, so i had to corpse run from qeynos. No fun... = (

I once had to CR from the bottom of Dalnir on a brand new server where I was one of the highest levels. My monk friend dragged my body to the zone out (died past the one way) and there were mobs in aggro range of my looting it. He broke invis first and tanked them mobs until he was about to die, then he zoned and i tanked the 4 mobs until I was about to die, zoning with like 5% health after barely finishing looting my corpse.

I was about a 25-30 Shaman with a newly completed set of Totemic - and I was lookin' goooooood.

You know that message when you /follow "Don't do it around water cliffs etc.?" It's especially important not to auto-follow when entering Paineel and skirting The Hole.

Yep, one shiny Shaman, into The Hole. I even had a chance to open my spellbook, and try to mem Levitate on the way down LOL. Not that it would have done me any good. I landed at the feet of Master Yael (?) and died.

If I didn't understand why someone might put a gun to their heads over a game, I understood then - after an hour of frantic pleading a wonderful Necro summoned my corpse and an equally wonderful Cleric rezzed me, good as new. Cost me all the plat I had for a coffin but boy was I happy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My worst experience ended in a failed CR.
In 2000, I was moving to Florida from Alberta (in Canada). I had my Lvl 50 Wizard and was having a look around just before I had to finalize my packing as the movers were coming. This new zone had opened and I wanted to go have a quick look. It was called 'The Hole'. No problems! I ported to Tox and headed into Paineel. I cast levitate on me and headed into the hole via the huge hole on the ground.. (the wrong way, not through the proper entrance) I zone in, levitation was gone and I plummeted to my death at the bottom.. Crap! Okay, I will try the same approach but cast levitate once I zone it and then float down... Nope! Dead again, next to my other corpse (and many others who also fell to their death). I tried a few more and then actually took time to read the patch notes / message of the day. It mentioned that levitate does not work in the zone.. Doh! I petitioned and explained to the guide that I was moving and had to leave that day and would not be back online for a couple of weeks and didn't want to lose my corpse. He explained hat he was not allowed to help or res me. So, I shut down my system and moved the next day. When I finally was able to get back on, my corpse was gone along with all of my gear.. Manastone, Box of AbuKar, SMR, GBS, etc. All of it off mobs which I had killed.(nothing bought). I tried playing him after that but it was not the same (with garbage gear.). I wound up retiring him and rolled my enchanter which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Probably a classic example from Fear on the Fennin Ro server. We wiped out on the north wall fighting one of the mini bosses and I was using my monk trying to retrieve corpses to a safe spot. When we started I was about 50% to max XP in level 50 and I ended up dying enough to de-level me to about 75% into level 49. This was mostly due to my own impatience and stupidity.

When i was around 21 or so I was bound in Oasis of Marr on the docks (I think thats correct its been quite a few years). I was sitting on my bind spot like an experienced player and someone trained a sand giant to the docks. I died over and over and over until a cleric died taking aggro from the mob to move the mob away from me. I was like 16 when I started hunting again.
