It was not amusing.

Landing while on my flying mount I took over 200K damage. My main is a Paladin Engineer. I almost never die from falling.

Ow! Well it's amusing until it happens to you, I guess :) I didn't know it was THAT massive a hit.

I keeled over dead in the middle of Org while nonchalantly jogging from the AH to the bank...... I found it mildly amusing; just kinda figured my toon must be almost as much of a klutz as I am IRL.

The completely unwarranted repair bill, on the other hand, was not so amusing. :(

It was kind of disturbing to witness, as well as experience. My guildies and I were roleplaying at Wyrmrest Temple when someone flew in to talk to one of the quest givers, landed, and *immediately died at our feet for no discernible reason.* We resurrected and healed him.

Later that week, I was doing the Wyrmrest daily at the temple and got shot down, floated to the ground...and got 'Going Down!' in the most random way possible, as the 'take fatal falling damage' bug and the 'slow falling due to parachute' interacted weirdly once I was on the ground.

Nagaina, I just have to ask, how did you guys explain away your friend's "instantenous death for no indiscernable reason" in roleplaying? That'd be a good premise, I would think! (Even if it wasn't planned.)

I pulled Shannox, took 2 steps and died... that was not a good start to the raid!

That WOULD be aggravating to have that happen in a raid.

Never happened to me though, either I was very lucky or my druid's been protected by the forces of nature in the past month.

The individual who died wasn't actually roleplaying with us -- he was just a random innocent bystander who...happened to die exactly where we were standing. He did, however, respond In Character when we picked him up and brushed him off. ^_^

On the other hand, the storyline we're currently running has an extremely high OMGWTFBBQ-factor, as they had just discovered that a) there's a secret society within the Kirin Tor that's been tracking their activities for months as they stumble around Azeroth trying to figure out what the connection is between the Highborne mirror of souls and several of their comrades who have come to serious harm after exposure to it and b) that someone highly placed in the government of the Undercity may, in fact, be an agent of the Twilight's Hammer and responsible for exposing said comrades to said Artifact of Extreme Unpleasantness. Their paranoia levels are *right off the scale* already and having someone drop dead right in front of them with no explanation...? Oh, the fun. I can't even tell you.
