I don't die...

Sentow had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
Other people's stupidity, now thats different.
"Hey, why is the ghoul lord and both of his cronies on me?"
"Oh, you wanted me to mez? Pfft. Dont have the mana now, I was buffing."
sigh...
I Lived, the other Necro (who didn't charm and was higher level) died along with the Cleric and main tank.

Anyway... I think the stupidest death I ever had was following a treant right into the cyclops camp in the Karanas with my Ranger(hey, it looked friggin cool and I wanted a good screenshot. 
).
Note to self: Turn off aoe spells BEFORE going near guards. 
...youd think id learn that after 5 times.
Oops.
Okay, picture this. I'm in an orc group in Oasis. I shout out to the group to watch out for Cazel, who's walking close to the sand dunes. We back up and avoid him.
Just then, I see a bard running by, and he aggros Cazel and brings him right over to us. Of course, everyone runs like mad. I back up, however, right into the two spectres who had been mis-pulled earlier. I was so shocked I didn't even try to run.
So I'm in the Emerald Jungle, killing tottering gorillas to get the corrupted gorilla to spawn. So I track one from high up the cliff and begin heading his way... East. It's night and even Ultravision isn't helping very much so I don't see the cliff... BANG!
You have fallen to your death!

Next up... I'm camping the corrupted barracuda in Lake of Ill Omen, and since it sucks to track down mobs underwater, I bind a bit West of loc neg900 neg900. So after a few hours camping, poof, tainted barracuda, freaking white con, exactly on me when I'm OOM. I snare him and pull him out of the water and begin kiting him around... Help comes, corrupted dies and I loot my stuff.
Here comes the interesting part. I go off to SolB to level... And I get the wild idea to see if I can PL myself off my laptop. So, with EQ installed I log on... In the middle of SolB with a S3 savage. Yuck. Frame rate 0, lava duct crawler jumps me and I crash before saying huzzah.
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
Log back off main PC, exactly on the frikkin TAINTED who had coincidentially spawned at the same moment!! I swim to the shore, idiot fish follows me on the ground and kills me.

That's all I need to unding back to 45... Fortunately I respawn before he gets back to his spawn point and don't agro him. But I have a naked corpse that won't stay up for long... Thankfully there's a 56 cleric in the zone and rezzes me before I lose my corpse... I promise a donation, and get rezzed by my friend in SolB. Then gate back, bank and donate to the former cleric... And everything is back in order!
Attempting to solo a deepwater crocodile at level 22 its taken me down about 3 bubs of health, and its running. I start chasing after it to kill it and... a SG spawns behind me. BOOM BOOM BOOM WHAM!
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
I go back to oasis and loot my body and start fighting again. I have a deepwater caiman down so far to where it is running, I am only down a bub of health. A SG spawns behind me. Well, I think I can get away. BOOM BOOM BOOM WHAM! I get hit once and am knocked under two bubs of health. Well I have sow so I still think I can get away. I start running, and I pass by my deepwater caiman, but he ain't running anymore. He bites me and stuns me. BOOM BOOM BOOM WHAM!
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
I go back and get my body, and join a group with some friends and fight on the docks. Someone shouts out about a SG. "What SG?" I say. Someone trained it into the water. WHAM!
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
For some reason spectres never killed me. Just the people I was grouped with.
We were by the guard tower in the Qeynos hills, so our barbarian shaman pulls the guards to zone so the little goodie doesn't sic them on us.
Next we run after him as he makes a beeline for the zone line so he can plug. We're hot on his heels with bard speed. Suddenly he turns around and stops running on top of a hill, we can't see over it.
My danger sense goes off and I back off, but my group leader (the shaman) tells me to go in there and snare him before the guards come back. I start running in, and he starts casting. Next I know, I'm LOADING... PLEASE WAIT as a charmed wolf tries to bite me, misses, and Holly Windstalker is walking over my dead body.
/sigh
Always trust your danger sense.

They were indifferent. I click off invis.

Hehe, im reminded of a couple days ago when I helped a friend of mine get his spoon.
Cazel was up, so sent me a tell to boogie down there and help him, I zone in(we attempted cazel first try with me, 57 chanter and a 52 chanter) ....that was dumb idea. Zoned out away from crowds. NOTE: there was 20+ people in oasis at the time.
Zone back, dead bodies everywhere and 2 in zone hehe.
Eventually killed him(me, another mag, 1 chanter and a druid)
But its always fun how people who think runnin to the docks solves all of lives problems.

Before the Hole went live, our server ran a GM event where earth elementals poured into Toxxulia Forest and Qeynos Hills. Many a newbie was slain, never to return, oh yes...
So. The event appeared to end with Al'Kabor leaving to investigate the Hole, but myself and others were convinced that it would pick up again in Toxx or Paineel.
The lot of us ventured to Odus and dared to enter the outskirts of Paineel. As we milled around, waiting for the event which was never to come (Hyper Anticlimax Chi... GO!), we somehow aggro'd a guard in the city itself. It cast Fear on me ("I'm a-feahed, Alvin!"), and in a true display of Bardic courage and prowess, I went sailing into the Hole.
I skipped half a heartbeat, but was relieved to see that the game was transferring me to a safe point. Now, with that in mind, I'd like to pose a question to any and all Verant employees who may be reading this.
What made you think the middle of Paineel's Shadow Knight guild was a safe point?!
