That's just what people say when they don't want to admit that it was for Sparklepony 2.0.
Happened to me almost a year ago.
Little did they know that the account in question never got past Level 2.

How do you not get past level 2? I think I gave WoW about a half hour to 45 minutes and hit level 5 or something. But regardless, I can't really blame you for dropping it like a hot coal, it wasn't very fun.

If you're talking about the new mount, yeah, that had something to do with it.

A stray cat got into my house and got me to level 10 while rolling on my keyboard.

My suspended account is gaining experience as we speak. I think I'm at eleventy-bajillion now.

To answer the original question, my gnome got eaten by a wolf and I logged off since I couldn't figure out how to make myself alive again and no one was willing/able to explain it to me.

Oh yea... those who are new and unfamiliar with the map/terrain have trouble finding their body or don't realize they need to talk to the angel thingie at the graveyard itself.

You are the only case I've heard of actually losing World of Warcraft. Bravo.
Just as Planned.

It plops you directly in front of an angelic NPC who wasn't there before, in a graveyard, with a minimap icon pointing towards your body. If you're anywhere within a good 100 yards of that thing, you get the option to revive. Let's be honest, if your first instinct isn't to talk to the angel, or even walk around a little and see what happens, you probably aren't meant for computers.

Or, as was my case, already played a perfectly good MMO that explained it pretty clearly in game "Click here to go to your home point or wait for someone to revive you!" so I said ***** it and went back to my Tarutaru.

I played FFXI for years before WoW. I had no issues, whatsoever.
I think it was you, Cat.

Sorry.Yeah, I have to agree with everyone else. As much as I hate the game, it's insanely easy to figure out.
Maybe I was just looking for an excuse. I didn't really want to play it anyway.

Now, if she was talking original EQ, that would be a whole different story. Not only was there no simple corpse recovery system in place, but your initial bind spot was *not* the same spot you started out. There were no maps, no compass, and certainly no easy arrows, waypoint indicators, or whatnot. So the first time you died, it was quite possible you'd appear somewhere you'd never been before, and now had to find your way back to somewhere you had been, and then from there try to find your corpse. And hope it wasn't right in the middle of a camp of goblins.
My first character was a dwarf. I initially appeared in the game right in front of the warriors guild (so convenient since I was a paladin, and that guildhall was a whole zone away). I managed to wander the entire breadth and length of Kaladim before I finally found the way "outside". The good news is that I found lots of folks looking for leather caps, and skeleton bones, and orc scalps, rat tails, and what have you. The bad news is that by the time I got outside, a good hour or two had gone by and there was no way in hell I was remembering which guy where wanted what. Which, honestly, was just as well given that armed with just my rusty dagger, I wasn't able to do much except kill the occasional snake and spiderling anyway.
The big killer was that there were a couple pools also just in front of the warriors guild in Kaladim. And the whole swimming thing wasn't well covered in the tutorial. Lots of folks drowned in the pools, then appeared at the bind point outside the city, then had to spend tons of time trying to wander around finding their corpse. Good times!

First time I played old school EQ, I fell down a well or something. I couldn't get to my body to loot it, and I got pissed and quit.
My first character in EQ was a troll shaman. I immediately fell into a pool of lava/acid/whatever next to my trainer and died.

Sorry.Yeah, that gave me a good chuckle.
I think they explain it better now though, if you have the beginner tool tips activated. Catering to casuals, I tell ya.Wonder Gem PigtailsOfDoom wrote:

That's what killed WoW for me. It was the beginning of the end.

My first character was a wood elf. I fell off Kelethin, of course. The default gamma settings on EQ will get you every time.

Lol! And you were at least an elf. My second character was a human wizard. I remember the first time I ranged out into the Commonlands and night fell. Holy hell! Total, freaking darkness. I figured out the gamma trick right after that, which at least allowed you to see obstacles, but creatures were still basically invisible until you smacked right into them (or they snuck up on you).
At a lan party, my cousin had been playing his human rogue for a few hours and had cranked up the gamma. Then he switched to his dark elf. He actually yelled and jumped out of his chair because it was so bright. We laughed.
Hah. I also remember thinking there was something wrong with my sense heading skill back in the day. I'd talk to other people (and read posts here) and everyone would talk about how your skill would increase as you used it, but mine never did! Eventually, I found out that dwarves start with a 50 skill. So you can't increase it until you hit 10th level and your max skill could go higher than that. Ah that newbie smell!

I almost gave up on EQ the same day I installed it. After deleting the wood elf, I decided to start an Erudite. You can imagine my frustration as soon as I left the city and went into Toxxulia Forest.
"WTF is wrong with this game?!? Why is it all so damn DARK????"
