Investing the remainder of my money after spending most of my gains from maker ON maker to make my reverse weapon. Created just enough 50% scrolls during the Aran event to fully scroll it alone and nothing else (since I felt it would be wrong to profit off of it). Hammered it and 3/9 passed. Potentialed it and it worked, 2 slots, I didn't care so much. Cubed it about 4 times (as much as I could afford), and nothing came of it. Then threw one enhancement scroll on it and it blew up.
Couple years ago bought a partially scrolled XBow from someone particularly famous (not infamous), and was lied to about a competitive buyer and as a result way over-payed which cost me the only time I ever did a gacha run. Also, this was before the scroll anything skill so I had a friend scroll it the rest of the way for me before I could equip it and basically all other scrolls failed.
Waaay back in '06, I had to run for a phone call and left MS up only to come back to me being dead thanks to the vents in ant tunnel. Then there was the chat box stuck death at level 69 in FoG. And silly things like Pap casting slow on me right before switching forms which led to my death not getting far enough to puppet from.
But really, nothing like this really matters anymore. I had wanted to play for longevity's sake and leave characters that I could come back and reminisce on someday like I've done in Runescape and RO (granted the server I played went down which led me to come here in the first place), but I've realized that as long as profit can be squeezed from the game, memories and consistency mean nothing. I could come back in 2 years and if the game is still up, I'd probably have an unplayable character.
