Worst Death you've ever had in an MMORPG
Desperado

Mine was in AC1 back before they gave you the coords of your dead body after you died. I was running across the BadLands when I got that sudden drop from the game and the "Lag Death Demon" claimed my avatar's life while I was desperately trying to get back in game. I awoke in-game finding myself stareing right at the life stone....I thought my hard earned uber-loot was lost forever. BUT!! As luck would have it some good soul saw my corpse and @told me the cords.... I found out later, when I arrived at the cords, this "good soul" had left out the fact that my corpse was in a glitched crack or crevice half way down an unclimbable mountain. You know it really sux to see your body disolve and your most precious items laying in an area where you can't get to- sorta laughin' at ya. In the end, I finally learned I could contact an in-game Serv Op to help me out (which is damn hard at 4am). I got my Hoary Robe and Crystal frags back...but not after pissin' my pants for a couple of hours....heh

Not my worst death, but the funniest one. Back when i was Beta testing PlanetSide we got a squad together and we all climbed aboard the Galaxy. (A galaxy in PS is a big troop transport) We were in the sanctuary where there are no live weapons. The pilot, uber genious that he is, takes off and goes way to the right of the warp gate towards the ocean. I am thinking aww crap he is going to eject everyone into the ocean and watch us drown, because for some reason along the chain of technology evolution, our species forgot how to swim. But, before he gets the chance a major lag bug hits and the Galaxy flips upsidown and crashes into the ocean. It was great because he died too, darn jerk.
Another was also in PS. There is this one continent that has really high steep cliffs. We were driving around in the Sunderer. (A ground troop transport with a couple guns) We come across an enemy AMS (Advanced Mobile Station) We gave chace. Here I am shooting at this AMS then all of a sudden it disapears right off the edge of the cliff. Does the driver stop and continue on to our objective. No he continues the chase right off the edge. Needless to say, all dead.

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.
Why doesn't DOS ever say "EXCELLENT command or filename!"
Customer: "How fast will my COM ports go?"
Tech Support: "How hard can you throw your computer?"
I can think of so many...
One of the more humerous ones was in EQ when the group I was in was fighting in a dungeon and we kept getting more creatures adding to the ones we were fighting. It was quickly getting really ugly but everyone was doing such an increadible job that nobody had died yet despite overwhelming odds.
Finally we decided to retreat via the druid casting a succor spell to port us out of zone to safety. Unfortunately the druid was the only good aligned character in the group and she ported us into a druid ring full of high level druids and treants.
It was comical as everyone ran in different directions screaming and trying to get away as the druids methodically killed all of us one by one until only the druid who cast the succor was left and she simply said "oops!".
Hrm....EQ when i was ganged by 5 people on the pvp server that kept snaring and tracking me. I was on a run to trade 250-200 platinums for a BABS. Well, i was a noob, that was alot. Really annoyed the crap outta me. Losing exp then losing half my cash...

When I get PKed in town playing UO and the other person had UOX and was hacking with "last target" and he killed me, wasn't red and looted my body then said I sucked at the game . . .
All though he was cheating. . .
I hate cheating... I hate mods, if you can't play the game the way it was made, don't play it at all.

mines was in ragnarok online...i was killing elder wilows and smokies. i hit a smokie then 2 poison spores appeared and attked me. i magnum breaked like crazy and continued hiting smokie then when i almost died, i said "no problem" and hit the f1 button which i usually asign to yellow pots. then i realized dat my shortcut tab (f12) wasnt up so i died. then a thief came and hit the smokie once, and the poison spores once or twice. they dropped a smokie card, poison spore card, and spore doll.
thief was nice enuff to give me the doll though.

this isn't a death but in the EQ beta I only had 56kbs and on the ships I lagged out or I fell asleep, I forgot which, and this is in the city of freeport's port.. I think it was the erudite way.. anyway, I was in that zone which the kitties who were nice and I spent a good long time there, since they had fishing bait and fishing poles I got my skill pretty high. ^.^ the worst death in an mmorpg though would have to be...ermmm... in AC you can be lagged and since you have to jump to get off a major cliff, I basically lagged and died and my corpse went through the world. >.> GM couldn't retrieve it either, it was no where to be found...
