Because getting to lvl20 without dying is an accomplishment.

It is for some of us (myself included).

I had got rank 1 on my Para, then while re-trying Venta Cemetry (had to cancel a couple of tries due to massive lag) I got Crossfire spiked while going for the bonus

I was getting help from a friend at the time, and they didn't know how to keep up. My fault for not making it clear that keeping up with the group is a 'good thing'.

Yes but does it need to be over a million XP in order to get it.I would say even getting to 20 or even 10 without dieing is an accomplishment on it self.It would be nice though if Proph. and Fact. came with heros.I left pre at lvl 8 in Proph.It is not all that hard to die in pre depending on where you go.

I have wireless set up in my house for my laptop, but my desktop is hardwired through the router. My girlfriend and I were having a... disagreement, and I thought it'd be funny to shut off the wireless all covert style and mess with her surfing experience. Little did I know that resetting the router also disconnects my desktop. Of course, I got disconnected in the middle of battle...

Frantically logging back in and /age revealed that I did, indeed, have 1 death on my indomitable.

I deserved it, though.

The Polymock bug, my piece got killed and it counted as a death. Really stupid but it happens. A few seconds later another piece dies to Polymock Savanah Heat, from the first hit, so my my character turns back to normal and takes around 400 points of damage nearly dieing again. Good thing this was at 1.7mill Legendary Survivor so I didn't loose much.

I've had a bunch of failed survivor attempts over time, I do have 2 r1 survivors that are stuck that way now.

One is my Para, a friend convinced me to help him cap dervish avatar X (I forget wich one it was), so we go out to waste Acolyte X only to to pwned when my friend, in a fit of brilliance, aggros every group in the fort and the surrounding countryside. Needless to say I was a bit peeved, but I got over it.

The other perma-r1 survivor I have is my ele, she was from factions, so getting r1 was easy enough, and hearing that ascension gives you a nice xp kickback I decided to take her to prophecies, she was over halfway to r2 when I got to the desert. On my way to the last mission before ascending, I do the usual flag and pull method, things are going swimmingly when I realize about 5 seconds too late that the spot I've pulled group 1 of hydras to is precisely the spot where groups 1 through 4 of hydras meet up. Didn't even have time to GH jump

My ele is now suffering from post-traumatic stress and has a deathly fear of lizards.

Bled to death from a turret ranger in Alliance Battle...

I hate exiting out of AB, so I watched the health slowly dwindle...

My dervish lost survivor to lag in the same place about 3 times, and I do literally mean the SAME place. Same quest, same part of the quest, same mob, I was even standing in the same place. It wasn't intentional, it just happened that way and the lag spike hit me at the same time :S

I've 2 necros, 1 para, and an assassin that made it to lvl20 though. I'm a little scared of playing them. I don't want to loose them to lag too :S

God dammit i just lost my survivor on my Para in the most painful, frustraiting way!!!

I was feeling lazy so decided to kilroy myself a few exp points in HM when i got knocked out. I did the usual mash 8 while clicking like hell on the stand up skill and got myself to full energy (and carried on clicking for good measure).

The time ran down and what happens? No I dont stand up, I fail, losing my survivor.

I think we can all agree, that is an unfair way to lose survivor, but hey, theres always time to reroll and I'm sure I'll laugh in the morning

Only did it twice. One of em failed, the other now lives in glory with legendary Survivor and progressing the KoaBD ranks.

So the failed one, she was lvl 19. I was doing the drunken shrubbery quest (or whatever it was called, it's somewhere on Istan).
There I was, carefully sneaking around in the swamp when I progress through a tunnel (or shipwreck?).
Suddenly, Corsairs! Everywhere! And the H/H's didn't even bother attacking them or healing me.
The sad fate of a Paragon, still continued on her normally. She got about 98% Elona carto now though

Bunny valley was a rite of initiation for my guild at one point. Course I had to stop it cuz people became more aware of the bunny valley and wanted me to come along.

Talk about a cheap laugh killer.

Went to solo those wurms outside Boreal Station after someone decided it was a good way to get Leg. Survivor.

Not thinking, I went to take the Norn blessing from the rez shrine dude, well, I hadn't gotten that far into the game yet for them to give it to me free, I had to fight him. Didn't do so well. I tried closing the game, but it froze. And in the 2 seconds it took me to reconnect, I managed to die four more times...

Well, after not playing for 4 months, I came back and decided to get my Dervish to EotN. Didn't think he still had beginner's armor but he still did at level 20. Whoops. Didn't even know he had Survivors until the notice that appears after you die for the first time showed up.
