> Actually I just deleted a character a day or so ago... was trying out a Warrior. During that whole Shadow attack I looted a good amount of equipment. Level 15er with (about) -250 all around, except magic about -100 from my calculations... and 30/35 hit/dam roll... Got wanted. > Now, stupid me... I quaffed *something* to make myself hungry, so I would die quicker. I ran toward Hamsah Mu'tazz from Galadon and was about 25-30 steps from a good hiding place. Well... even though I had those boots on, I ran out of mvs... at the west gate of Hamsah. At 80% health. > I sat there for about 20 ticks... and was about 15% health. An Arbiter found me at about 5% health, I quaffed a potion of return... ended up back in Galadon. Bam, got killed from that particular arbiter... ran south and hit the wrong macro. I hit "get all" then realized and hit "get all corpse" a second later. The "get all" got through right before the arbiter's... The "get all corpse" didn't. > So obviously I was pissed. And not only that, in a 20K hole. At level 15 a 20K hole is about... 2 hours of solo ranking, no big deal at all. But I completely see what you're saying... a whole series of events where you're like "doh..." and if your character is any younger than 50 hours usually you'll delete. > I didn't delete that night, though... I just logged off. Came back the next day, re-equipped, started ranking again and hit 10K to next level. Then got attacked by someone, killed them, and they had one of those ****** things on them. Now, I remember from awhile ago that when you wore that random things would attack you. But... I put it on anyway and I mingled with some decent level mobs (so I knew I could handle it if I got randomly attacked)... For 30 minutes of strutting around, nothing attacked me in Gehenna, Arkham, even some places in the Past... so I figured that it must have been changed or something. Then I strolled by some higher level mobs, thinking maybe there was a level range. I went to Balator... villagers, watchmen, bladerunner... nothing, all fine. I go afk for literally two minutes to go downstairs to get a drink of water and I sit in a private room... > Bladerunner comes in and yells that oh so infamous message that I'm tainted and attacks and kills me. 30K hole (or so)... > > delete > Awaiting the hour of reprisal your time slips away... > *smirk* > > You decide to play a character class you've never tried before You come up with a killer role, get those perfect stats, put time into emotes, description, etc. Then you spend the time perfecting thier skills, gather a decent suit, really start getting into the character. Then you run into a horrible streak of luck, try out your character in a Pk situation finally, and decide to test your new character on the wrong people, they kill your ass because you don't have all the class nuiances down yet, then you hit a couple of stupid mob deaths regearing. After that you feel like the God you wanted empowerment from or tattoo or whatever HAD to have seen you fuck up, and are going to laugh everytime you pray? The you just close Zmud(or whatever you use) before you can delete yourself. And because of that you loose all that interest you just had in the character?
