Have an exciting (or disappointing) death experience? Post it here to share with all of your fellow IM Challengers.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well. Sad update.
After 5 hours of playing and hitting level 8, things took a turn for the worse. Due to an unforseen mob that attacked in real life (i.e. a rowdy puppy that decided he needed to destroy my couch for some attention), my attention was averted from my screen for 30 seconds. That was all it took for a lurking spider to pounce, and while I returned in time to fight for my life, I had lost too much blood already and lost the battle.
Word of caution to you who still are with the living: Be cautious when playing, because you never know when or where a hell hound will spawn.

Dang! I cannot believe this! I just started my character and targeted my SECOND kill, started the spell to fire at it, and MY STUPID INTERNET LAGGED AND THEN CUT OFF!!! Wth? Of course you know how that ends - since I was starting a spell and because it takes a while for your character to stop being in the world when it dc's like that, when I finally got back on, I was dead!!!!!!! I'm so mad! Is there a consolation prize for the fasted death?

Oh Redridge is a good place to Stay Away from. Don't know if I'll bother with it until I get to be a higher level than what it takes to quest there.

Well my little pally, Ironstrikes died about an hour ago. Was 10% away from level 12 when I attacked my first real caster in bloodmyst, who brought friends along to help kill me. FYI stay away from mobs that cast frostbolt!. Rolling with a new shaman named Ironstrikeqt. Hope to see you guys around. Edit: Nevermind! I just died at level 6 on Strikeqt . I think I'm gonna give a druid a try next, GL guys! ;D

As he peaks above the grass, being a super sneaky cat, Ironshane spies the Quest Item he needs on the table, but theyre are three horde around it, and one patrolling. Moving behind one takes it out easily, But when He goes to take out the one closest to the table he accidently walks to close to the other horde trying to get out of an AoE, and panicking (shadowmeld on CD) switches to travel form to try and run, with a HoT on, but i get stunned by the patrolling horde. I quickly switch in and out of travel form to get out of the stun, but by then i was on low health, So i bunker down and try to heal, till Shadowmeld gets off Cd, but it couldn't happen. R.I.P. IronshaneI "Curse my youthful eagerness!" Me This was halfway through my first group of quests in ahsenvale.

I was doing so well for my first challenger. It had been smooth sailing all the way up to level 30. I was killing Elder Stranglethorn Tigers when King Bangalash snuck up on me (I was certain I was out of the way) and attacked my pet. I knew he spawned adds, that's why I stayed away. His adds spawned.. then a second set of adds spawned! WTF BLIZZ!? I ran for my measly little life, but I just didn't make it. 30 lvls in 22 hours. *sigh* It is with a heavy heart that I start again..

Quest: Ironshane 3 needs to sneak in using, a quest item that allows him to stealth, and gather surveillance on the Twillight hammers When I used the item to stealth, I forgot to do one small thing... Dismiss my pet So i was half way through sneaking through when, I realise I didn't dismiss bacon (my boar), 3 twilight hammers were on him, I probably couldn't have taken them and even if i could Thre were a lot more i would probably pull. And so i hoped that when he died, they wouldn't come after me... Well, they did. Morals of the story 1. Dismiss, your pets when stealthing 2. Don't do fucking Darkshore /sigh i need to stop dieing

Death is hard on all of us. I'm not the best player..I like to blame it on age but I am very stubborn..Poor Rusty died so many times and has had so many variations..I finally slowed down and crept through her leveling..currently an undead priest at 8..But poor Wolfiron..I decided to try a worgen rogue (cause I like the way they look and i've never leveled a worgen before) and decided that every time she died I restarted her...well, let's see, first death was at level 3 because the worgen starting area is NOT full of benign yellows, but lots of bloodraging worgen (LOTS) that can and will kill you if you mess up..then once out of the city is the blasted Forsaken...ugh..so many mistakes...I lost count... The one to watch for is NOT getting "out of combat" when you are helping blow up the abominations, and at the Hayward boat place..you need to run a long ways off to finally break combat to heal up...Anyways..i started another rogue for some screenshots, nasmed her "Pupdog" and lo..guess who is still alive @ 13...

Aethelflaed spied the Nerubian leader Anok'suten (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=9315) coming out of his lair.
"How hard could it be?" she thought. "My brothers and sisters kill stuff much bigger than that at my age - I can too!"
She charged! She Rend-ed! Struck! "WAIT MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS USED THE FANCY GEAR AND I HAVE NONE AAAAAGGGGHHH THIS HURTS AAAA..."
The Nerubians dined well on scantily clad Blood Elf that night.
