What's the stupidest thing you ever done on your character?

I think there were a couple of options on verifying original account owner. The Original CC # used for first billing, is what they asked for, with some accounts I had compromised on live.

Speaking of...

Loaned my wife and I's accounts with high lv raid geared characters after having stopped playing for a long time to a very close RL friend so he could power level himself with their assistance. Instead he stripped every tradable item off of them and tried to claim he "gave away" the accounts later when I asked why the password was changed.

After a bit of time I remembered I was the one who set up his email... and he never changed the pw. Using his webmail, I gained access to his account and found all our stuffs.

No longer a friend.

Interesting story, funnily enough almost the same thing happened to one of my friends back in early vanilla WoW days. Some people are just awful when it comes to pixel greed lol, kind of crazy. I hope you at least found some interesting stuff to screw with in his email.

I can't think of anything super specific, but recently I decided to try my hand at a Ranger (which was my first melee ever). I got into my 50's, being pretty heavily twinked without doing too much grouping, and when I finally did, the enchanter kept complaining about someone breaking mezzes. I eventually realized it was me, and while tabbing through names during tell hell, I was also cycling trough targets. Oops...

Losing 600 dollars plus the account for a necro I sold on Rallos because I forgot to give the buyer the answer to the secret question before going out of town for a few weeks. At which point he used the exploit on Sony's website to reset the question, change the PW, and claim I stole back the account.

Fun times. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was raiding late with the guild, not sure where anymore (maybe Hate) nuking away and the head bobs started. Nuke...head starts lowering to the keyboard....head pops up....disoriented, better nuke.....head starts drooping...head snaps up, better nuke again.....head slumps...head pops up again, a lot more slowly this time, just about to nuke again and hear lots of chatter in TS (mostly wtf's). My vision clears and I've ported my whole group to Sky....Why I even had port to sky memmed is my second mistake. The old fellas still chuckle about that to this day when I log in sometimes.

on Live, the day i dinged 46 on enc, got invited to pick up vox raid and bound myself in "safe hall" only to be killed about 14 times via death chain. had to pull the plug on my modem to stop it, think i went down to like 42 from 46 that night.

Dying to an SG in Oasis because I was looking at my other monitor, and then dying again to another - or perhaps the same - SG after getting my corpse because I still hadn't learned my lesson.

Deleted my (main) level 18 Human cleric on Mithaniel Marr (in the real 1999) late one night without realizing what I was doing.... Then going "Oh SH*T!" and logging in another character and /petition a GM but no help there

I've liched myself to death at least 5 times when soloing and going AFK in between kills.

I've died more time to leaving Lich on while I afk than I have in combat.

[Cecily]

Way back when Cecily was a little rogue, lv 14 I think, I died in Unrest one night. I was bound in Freeport, dumb, so I rode the boat to Butcher Block and ran back to Dagnor's Cauldron, one of my most hated zones for a good reason. I decided that sneaking around the circle would take too long as a rogue so I tried swimming straight to Unrest. That didn't work out well and something red quickly caught me in the water. I left another corpse in the lake and woke up in Freeport again.

That second death freaked me out because my corpse was surely at the bottom of a very deep body of water that I'd probably drown getting to. So I thought about it for a moment and using my best low level player logic I decided I'd max swimming to help with the CR. So I swam in circles for a lengthy period of time in Freeport before taking my second boat ride to Faydwer.

I finally got back to the Cauldron, absolutely frazzled and angry. Waiting there was a high level rogue I had been chatting with during the CR(s). Much to my suprise, he passed me a backpack filled with a complete set of visible Ravenscale armor. Ravager has always been my rogue hero since then. Finally, at that point it dawned on me that the corpse in the lake was naked and I didn't have to CR it at all. I had spent 45 mins training swimming for nothing. I got my stuff from Unrest, and I managed to die once more at the tents near BB thinking they were a safe spot. I distinctly remember having Ravager drag one of my bodies to the zoneline.

Three boat rides from Freeport. That was a pretty horrible EQ day. You made it so much better, Ravager. Thanks again.
