What's was your "dumb" EQ moment?

[Stormlight]

I was a wizard with levitation, and there was this gaping hole in Paineel, begging to be explored...

[maestrom]

It was a nice evening. I had just gotten home from work and I logged into the everquest. My guild was raiding Solusek Ro's Tower. The guild was doing to rather long process of ghetto porting the un-flagged folks into Sol Ros chamber because a lot of my guild couldn't be bothered with silly things like flagging. Anyways I found myself in plane of fire where I had logged out after kiting tables (as a bard). I made my way over Sol Ro's tower and hit the beautiful beautiful song, Selo's Accelerating Chorus. Clicked into Sol Ro Tower, saw a few of his troops up and laughed as I ran right by them. As I expected, they took off after me and gathered quite a few friends on the way. I made it up to the port up, hit Fading Memories (beautiful) and told the raid leader I was there.

About 15 seconds later someone yelled train. I laughed at whatever idiot was about to get a ton of mobs coming down on his head. They were coming straight for our raid though! This couldn't be good. 20ish mobs against an unbuffed mostly afk raid force wasn't gonna be good. especially when our main tank had already ported up. then I saw it. I was oom and had been when I clicked FM but i didn't notice the "no mana" message because bards don't care about such things. Wiped the raid, set us back a half hour. /idiot off.

Your the first person to actually fall asleep to the sound of rain and thunder in EQ. The rest of us find it highly annoying because its the same .au over and over.

I spent a day or two as a level 34 feeding my pet Iron Rations every 20 minutes upon the advice of Transcendence. Thanks guys.

Back in 1999, my brother bought a stack of muffins and milk. I asked why he would buy 20 milks at once because they would expire before he possibly could drink them all.

Back in the original days (99), me and a few friends had the very real belief that the angle you had a mob lined up in your viewport in first person view affected your hit rate.

My dumbest moment was as a level 5 ranger, jumping on a convo with a higher level char (15 or so, who was a god at the time) for a march from Qeynos to Freeport. Getting lost, losing the group, running into Neriak thinking it looked interesting, and losing my corpse forever. That was a delete and restart the char. [You must be logged in to view images.

Hah! This!!!
The day the hole opened was the day I was moving from Western Canada to South florida and we were driving down (4 day drive). I wanted to have a quick look in the hole so I cast levitate on my 50 wizard and stepped off into the void. As I entered the hole, levitate was gone and I splattered at the bottom. I tried a few times to fix this issue (like casting right after loading into the zone, etc). So I died many times. I petitioned, explaining that I was moving and would not be able to get online for quite a while. The guide who responded would not help (I understand why). So, I lost my corpse.. (goodbye mana stone, guise, Box of AbuKar, etc). Yeah.. that... sucked.
A year later I was chatting with the server GM and mentioned to her what had happened. She said I should have petitioned again as they would have restored my corpse but too much time had passed since then.. (double-doh).

When I first started playing I tried to sit down at the camp fire outside of Surefall Glade and strike up a conversation with the NPCs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I petitioned to a GM after I handed in my newbie letter to join the freeport paladin guild and < Knights of Truth > didn't appear next to my name.

I just recently got the spell Cure Disease, a level 5 cleric spell. I'm 56.

My first character on Live was a mage, and I'd summon 20+ water/food because every time I camped for the night the next morning all of my food and water was gone. I thought my character was eating it all overnight.

I turned in 160 Red Wines to the dark elf in Neriak Library by clicking the stack, deleting the numbers and replacing it with 1 to get one out of the stack at a time. You can do the same thing by holding CTRL and clicking the stack. >[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As a noob on Live I remember thinking that Clerics could cast regeneration spells, and I was sad that they'd always ignore my requests for it.

Also on Live, I thoroughly believed the myth that if you talk in /say in Plane of Sky too much, the crazy Halfling and his band of wild Pegasus would reign death upon you and your raid.

In Velious, for the majority of my time playing I was under the assumption that it was called "Siren's Ghetto" and not "Siren's Grotto."

Every time you ate a muffin manually by clicking on it there was a .002% chance you'd find money or a prize.

This one is true: If you go to the chess board in Butcherblock after 18+ sleepless/non-caffeinated hours, the woo-woop-woo-woosh sound is actually saying "Play-Ev-er-Quest" over and over.
