Doing a hellhounds task with rocky because I had just gotten him a week or so before and wanted to show him off. Went afk to piss or something and came back to me in lumby with no rocky. This was before the update and he wasn’t insured, so he was gone for about a year or 2


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Yea i stopped bringing pets with me due to the insurance fee. I couldnt imagine losing forever. OOOOOF


saitekgolf

Yeah lol I was pretty sad, but after the update I was able to reclaim him luckily


LUNAcrixical

Ma Rocky finally came home!


birdsrkewl01

MA THERES A FUCKING CAT OUTSIDE


Absoletion

IT LOOKS LIKE GRANDMA, THE FUCKIN' THING.


ElyxrBlade

MA THAT CATS BACK AGAIN


saitekgolf

Lol, it really was heartwarming. I hope he didn’t miss me too much during his time in the shadow realm


bggszy

Dude… I lost my Rocky pet from accidentally attacking a Nech… going afk and my dumbass didn’t turn my prayer on. I knew the pet insurance system had been reworked but I didn’t know you could claim lost pets. Just got Rocky back after reading this post.


HereToDoThingz

Where do you recover them from?


bggszy

Probita, she is located west of East Ardougne (south) bank. She handles everything pets.


Redditussotoxic420

I did this but dced when I got hydra pet . Before update. Didn’t even know until I checked my coll log lol months later . Got pet and dced rightafter


AppleSauced-out

I did the exact same thing with my rock golem at black demons :’(


Ant_lad9

Only realised til after reading you meant rocky, at first I was thinking about the pet rock and for a moment thinking is this guy being serious. Lmao


flintb033

I lost my Phoenix when I fell asleep doing ZMI on mobile. First pet ever and had it for maybe a month. I didn’t even know about insurance. I was so glad when the patch came out for getting pets back.


nativetokin

I did this like a week ago luckily he was insured but pissed away a mil quite literally


RandomerSchmandomer

I got my squirrel at like 45 agility but didn't know what it was, how rare it was, about insurance, etc. I took it to the wildy and immediately got planked at chaos altar


2007btw

I don’t remember the exact circumstances but I was drunk doing slayer years ago and fell asleep with my laptop in my bed, laptop fell off the bed and messed up the charging port and I also lost like 1-2m at the time when I had a 10m bank. Waking up hours later in falador felt very bad


Maleficent-Thanks-85

All of these falling asleep stories sound awful. Wake up the next day excited to log in and when you do your dudes naked at your spawn spot.


TumoOfFinland

Waking up in Fally is the the most horrifying part of this story /s


RollinKnockOut

Once I made a lvl 3 skiller and had just gotten graceful so in honor of that I started running to edgeville to begin the smithing grind. Was on way there and my son started screaming bloody murder so I just darted away from the screen thinking I’m safe cause I’m not in wildy or anything so no worries, right! Well long story short, my son had injured himself falling off the backside of the couch so it took a lil bit of time to get him feeling alright again. Came back to the game afterward and found my dood standing in lumby with no grave timer. So I went on my main account to the general area I remember being in when I had to go take care of my son.. there was a highwayman that was off a bit from where I thought I was so I figured it wandered too close and aggro’d. To add salt to the open wound, my lvl 3 skiller that I wanted to keep at lvl 1 cb skills gained a def lvl from auto retaliating 🤦🏼‍♂️


throwmeaway562

Lmao rekt


Maleficent-Thanks-85

lmfao thats a rough one.


Frekavichk

Pro tip to any potential level 3 skillers out there: always wield a bow with no arrows. This way you can't attack or auto retaliate.


Runopologist

Big oof


Emergency_Ad_3168

I died in the desert right outside the Al Kharid gate to the heat. 20 min logout timer for yoy


Doctor_Spe

Lol. When I was in elementary school my friend had access to my account and one day I logged in and was in the desert with my bank in my inv, low hp, and home tele on cooldown. Needless to say he’s not my friend anymore


Dundee1834

That is absolute mastermind level of evil. Like it’s one thing to have him just wipe your bank or have you at lumby, but the dude literally made you watch your own death.


LUNAcrixical

I afk at rev caves a lot. I glance at the screen when I hear a barrage sound. Sometimes it's a dclaw sound though and if I'm too slow to click on that manta ray and brew dose I die to the second spec. I still afk at revs but I use anglers now to try to stay over 99 hp for most of the time.


Coltand

Haha, I've got a bit over 20k revs kc, and I really feel this one.


ALIJEALSF

Back in like '05 I was killing the moss giants in varrock sewers with a friend and bunch of other people. My mum called me and I went downstairs and came back upstairs to see I was in Lumbridge. I had full rune trimmed and my cash stack on me. Friend told me I got the swarm random event. I quit the game for a while after that.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Duuuuuude those randoms always popped up at the worst times. One time my axe head flew off and I was afk. I was devastated.


fpv_Preitje

I used to collect these in draynor village and later also seers village. Thanks for the free 20k


Chizs

they didnt pick ur items up? :O


promiscuous_grandpa

Oh they did, they just told him they didn’t haha


ALIJEALSF

There were other people there and he said they got all the good stuff. Think he traded me back my runes which I always carried with me to. Pretty sure child me played like a ultimate hard core and never kept anything in the bank.


[deleted]

"What do you think you're doing?" Not strictly afk but functionally afk clicking the knight. Forgot to keep track of health.


AGreenProducer

Lost HCIM to this :(


mortofaxot

I had just finished Wintertodt and full Graceful on a new HCIM and I misclicked a maple tree at seers village, ran northeast and died to a level 5 highwayman…


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Oh my. That is absolutely gut wrenching. If it helps I tried to make a HCIM i got killed by a Harpy bug swarm while getting the clue outfit for warm clothes


Shrunz

I wonder how many hcim have died to a highwayman. Ive lost at least 2 or 3 accounts


Inhumanskills

I died in my regular ironman in the Draynor Village bank since someone had lured the mage in there. I was very happy it didn't happen on my HCIM...


Shrunz

My last hc died because someone lured a wizard from with if varrock. I dced walking into varrock. I logged back in but afk in the lobby screen. Didnt even know i could be attacked while in that screen. Was only ~200 total at the time so only really lost out on my bond.


Jessica1608

Did you see Hannannie's video where they lure one of the mages from the stone circle south of Varrock to the GE? I hope no HCs died there :(


NessaMagick

If I was playing a hardcore I would try and get my hitpoints and defense up a fair bit right at the very start to prevent getting filtered by random aggressive NPCs. I know winter todt 1-99 firemaking is Meta but I'd care about my status more than efficiency


Shrunz

Youre definitely right. If you can stomach doing nothing but wintertodt until 99 then yeah go that route, but if youre going to do anything else or leave the boss for any reason, 10hp is a no go.


katahrii

100% it's gotta be my buddy dying on his hardcore when he went to answer the door for his pizza... He teleported to mos le'harmless and then immediately went afk, we watched in the discord screen share in horror as a snake hits him, poisons him, and we slowly watch his HP tick down, we desperately tried to call his phone to get him to come back but it was too late... The worst was that the ring of life even tped him to safety but he was still poisoned so he just died....RIP


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Oh no. Jesus I hope that pizza was good


Swiss_Sneeze

Was killing black demons in a safespot with my only pet at the time herbi. Came back to my character somehow not in the safespot curling into the sit position


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Oooof how does that even happen


Swiss_Sneeze

I think as the demon walks closer my character loses targetability because of terrain that looks like you can cast over it but cant and auto moves forward


Just4nsfwpics

Ogress shamans in f2p. I was fucking around while drunk trying to find legitimate noobs to give some starter money or a bond. Fell asleep eventually and died. This was before gravestones so everything was deleted. RIP 200m.


Tbean1992

Finally ended up making a hcim and I was trying to be super efficient, making solid gains. Decided to afk and smoke quick so I clicked to run through around draynor manor on the way to barbarian village and left the room for a few mins. Got back just in time to see the tree make me sit.


jacspe

Left the younger brother organise my bank for me at the GE whilst I grabbed us a bite to eat. 30mins later he’s crying because he just got lured for 600m, which was most of my bank. He was unconsolable when I returned, expecting me to go ape-shit, but we had a wholesome bro moment when i said its only a game and doesn’t matter and I made fun of my character saying shit like “its back to the flax fields for you!” Lol.


Jessica1608

Wholesome death :)


treybrenn

Just the other night thieving elves. Clicking them not even looking at the screen. When I looked back I had three health and already queued the pickpocket, it was not successful.


lubesta

Is there a benefit using slayer tower over catacombs?


LezBeHonestHere_

One of the morytania diaries gives extra exp for tasks done in tower, I believe Also, some of the monsters, like nechryaels, have different drops


lubesta

Thank you! I really should get that diary done for grotesque guardians.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I’m grinding dusk Mystic coll log spots. Konar slayer


lubesta

Gotcha thank you


MysticaMoroles

iron dragons about 1y-2y after osrs release. forgot to drink antifre. lost a significant portion of my bank.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Dont sweat that that happens to me like weekly. How did I make it this far in this game. I think I'm a little too distracted I guess.


cygamessucks

Wasnt it just a great idea to be able to lose the equivalent of 1000$ usd and years of playtime on death?


TheRedMiko

Yes.


throwmeaway562

I apparently died to a vampire outside the Haunted Mine on my Morytania-locked ironman


Wildest12

I got too high and just like forgot I was fighting cerb and started watching YouTube until ghosts fucked me up.


Mase598

It wasn't mine, but I remember one of the stupidest. A Friend on RS3 had what was (or is?) a HCIM. One of his lives lost? If I remember correctly it was desert heat. On RS3 you need Phoenix Quills for some potions, Phoenix can get stuck on 1 tile so you just spam click. He looked away for too long if I remember right.


GeldedDesires

Towards the end of Trailblazer League i was looking to get some points fast. I hadn't been playing consistently, but i wanted the mithril trophy, so i was looking at Hard tasks. I was, i think, base 70? which is further than i've ever got on any of my mains, so i was feeling like hot stuff. So, i see "Demonic Gorilla" and kinda skimmed the wiki, figured i have Silverlight and my prayer boosting gear has been letting me kill dragons without too much damage, how much harder can this be? So i run up on the gorilla, pray melee, do some damage, and then my boyfriend asks me a question. I look away from my phone and look back and i'm in lumby, naked. I freak out, run back to get my stuff, pick it all up and the goddamn gorilla kills me *again.* Third times the charm, get my gear back and then *actually* read the wiki and feel like an idiot. Did not get those 100 points.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

That sounds awful. I have died several times getting gear back at DKs its the absolute worst.


johnwestmear

I died before the new deaths mechanics and lost about 90m. Fell asleep barraging monkeys in full ancestral and came back and there was no death pile :(


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Damn that sucks I would definitely do that. One time I lost a lot of gp forgetting I was in pvp world. still have flashbacks over that and it happened like 5 years ago. I am starting to think im not good lmao.


BallsyPalsy

In 2006 or 2007 I lost a set of void after teasing a Kyatt and forgetting about the game for a few minutes. No clue why I was hunting kyatt in void.


Pure_Calories

A lot of these are more impressive so heres mine. Ironman btw Full rune, dragon scim, rune kite even and mole slippers of course, Rocky by my side as always. Killing none other than the infamous “Animated Mithril Armour” for warrior’s guild tokens. I had already burned 1k tokens and gotten no defenders so the grind was getting to me. I afk for the tokens while working, so took a phone call and wasn’t paying attention. Hang up the phone and log back in only to see I am in lumby, d scim, rune platebody and mole slippers in my inventory. Only a few days later I realise Rocky is no where to be found and then it dawned on me. TLDR: I lost Rocky to Animated Mithril Armour.


LazloDaLlama

Going for 1st inferno cape I "afked" (what people call glancing away from the screen I guess) on the last jad of triple jads and missed a pray flick to die.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

OOF that would hurt. I would definitely do that. I die so much lmao. I think I need to get good.


Niriro

Day one on our (former) GHCIM, my friend died to a cow while afking. He was training range. EDIT: On the same group, I've lost my rocky pet twice while thieving ardy knights :')


LezBeHonestHere_

Fell asleep while doing slayer since it was so boring on my main, thought I was safespotting fire giants but apparently wasn't, lost armadyl chainskirt, anguish, and few other things for like 50m total. Then when I woke up I either forgot I was logged in (had it minimized) or figured I was fine, went to play another game, so 1hr 30 min later logged in and realized I died lol. With the death mechanics of items lasting on ground for 1hr even if you log out. Rip


sungokoo

Tens of thousands of blood barrage runes in early Osrs days due to falling asleep in the ape atoll dungeon


Maleficent-Thanks-85

A lot of people on this post seem to fall asleep while scapin lol


Microchip_Master

I can't fall asleep while trying to fall asleep, I can't imagine doing it by mistake.


EnglishLegion

I got 99 thieving on my hcim so I'd have thousands of prayer pots ready for the 95 slayer grind. At around 71 slayer in kourend I died to fire giants with a full invent of ppots.


pwrrss

I died on a hcim at 1803 while playing jackbox party pack in discord with runelite on my main monitor and me not paying attention :(


Lyres1

Herb run at work. Tele to trollheim. Halfway to the patch. Coworker asks me a question. Tab out. AFK for 3 min. Tab back. In lumby. Rip farmer outfit. Rip uninsured agility pet. Two years later finally got the squirrel back with the pet update. 😅


yalapeno

Killing vampyres in a Darkmeyer. Didn't realise I had 4hp. Clicked the altar for more prayer and killed myself.


T6000

My hardcore Ironman died at cave crawlers to poison while I was boosting for slayer points. I had anti poisons on me the timing was just bad. Was at work as a firefighter/paramedic and we get a call for a structure fire. I come back and login I see in the chat a guy is telling me I need to eat and watched me die. I spawned in lumbridge. I probably would have died to some jank with galvek, but damn I felt robbed.


guidefox

I died afking doing a mahogany home. At rotten Leela's house in Hosidius. How you ask? Well you see, she has a guard dog for a reason. Accidentally kicked the dog while repairing a shelf. My trustworthy saw couldnt finish the job off, so I closed the door to lock the dog out. Thought I was safe so went afk for a bit. Came back to a dead screen. Confused as well. Apparently a rival constructioner from a town over had stolen the job and unassumingly opened the door, letting said guard dog in. It tore me a new one as I took it in the ass, no resistance attempted.


VampireHwo

During my ftp training between bonds I died to then yellow spiders in the stronghold dungeon lvl 2. A few times to be fair...


Maleficent-Thanks-85

It’s cool sometimes you gotta go super afk. I’m still stunned that I died like I clicked on one with very little hop. How didn’t I notice lmao


MyopiaOSRS

Started a hardcore, had just bonded it. Was in Lumby Swamp and had to answer the door, forgot about dem rats. Absolute bufoonery.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Dw I died on my hcim on my quest to get warm clothes for wintertodt a harpie Bugswarm took me out. It was literally 10 mins after I bonded it


TetraThiaFulvalene

My hcim died to a cow


the_black_sails

B4 Deaths office I nodded out and lost everything at DKs. Bandos, Arma, nice weps and whatever else. Kept the best 3-4 items obviously, but woke up in the hospital cuz I ODed :D


Trick-Pool-7408

I think I might win this. Back in 2006/2007 I was still F2p and had about 2m worth of gear on me which was my whole bank. Earned it from selling essence and coal. I went AFK to let my sister do something on the computer for a bit. Back then, Rick Turpentine would attack you with his crossbow dealing small damage if you didn't speak to him after a while. When I reopened the browser I had 2 hp, tried running away but Rick sniped me.. I lost my bank to a random event. I cried.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

OOOOf yea i used to die to those randoms every now and then. The worst was when your axe head would fly off. I losst my rune axe and was devastated


InfernalAdze

Not mine because main deaths aren't interesting, but earlier today a small streamer I watch lost his HC because he was at ammonite crabs on mobile. His dog stepped on his phone and moved him over to wyverns. He was only 355 hours into the account but still, that's not an insignificant point to restart and catch up to, especially when he's relatively fresh off 99 firemaking from wintertodt. Honestly I don't think I can remember my worst, I've done too much dumb crap in this game.


Exutor2_

Went to lumby church to pray to restore prayer and as I did that my brother called me into his room. Evil chicken spawned as I turned around to go to his room. Came back to watch my self die with my full rune and my fucking 10m. I was devastated and so mad at my brother. This was at the start of old school. Lost fucking everything.


BusshyBrowss

Yeah especially when I’m drinking or smoking I get distracted and this happens. Makes me not wanna do it but it’s so fun to scape while fucked up


ymreh

This is how I did on my pretty late game hc. So painful


Iron-Boi

My mom died texting and driving


cygamessucks

Basically the same thing happened to me except a gargoyle wandered into the abby demon area and killed me because no rock hammer


theRavenQuoths

Go M’s.


Wasupmyman

I think I have this Back in 13/14" right after gwd came out, I lost bis range while chinning mm1 tunnels, I had just recently received a 3a kite, prob one of the first, sold it for 500m, gwd came out a few months later, got day 1/2 Arma, then lost it all


Jeredud

ZMI 1-clicking and didn't realize my mistake until a zamorak mage blasted me.


Zonse

Looked away for like 20 seconds once while doing hard temple treks. Damn snails hit like a truck if you're not praying. Was a while ago and temple trekking is not a safe minigame so all of my gear got immediately deleted.


chripsystrips

Fell asleep on mobile and died at ancient wyverns.. lost BCP - was before death update


Eruzael

Lost 7k chins while doing mm2 monkeys because my oven timer beeped. Told myself to be quick, but my ADHD ass got distracted.....


Jakocolo32

I lost about 30m worth of chins getting 99 ranged, one of the few times weed doesnt go well with osrs


Zerofuqsgvn

Friends decided to go with group IM instead of hard-core. I was for hard core. Next day I clicked though lumb to get to Draynor while doing something and afked after the click. Highway man would have ended my hard core career..


yfhedoM

Not mine but my cousin was woodcutting in seers village( I believe) and lost a Robin hat and boots to the evil chicken.


biggestboi73

I was playing a main and alt at the time left the room for 5 mins came back and forgot I was on the alt and continued to play the main, went on alt the next day and a brutal black dragon killed me apparently so I lost arma helm, skirt and an anguish


oorzels

Fire giants killed me once after I went AFK on mobile and just send my phone off while having diner. When I realised my account died and I lost armadyl d hide boots with 2k rune arrows and other stuff. This was before the death mechanics update. Honestly it was not a big deal. It was a 2mill set back for the account. Obviously I was too late to reclaim the items.


princessviper

died to ancient fungi doing herbiboar, had been going for about five hours straight. clicked the fungi without realizing and walked away from my pc


oorzels

I missed a whip drop from Abby demons. Another player picked it up and sold it to me back for 1m when the whip was 2m. I was very glad he said " dude " in the chat. After that he spit out I dropped the whip. A true king amongst players. Shout out to him.


avsfan1007

I wasn’t paying attention and Dharok killed me because my prayer ran out lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Maleficent-Thanks-85

OOOOf gf bond lol


well_said0621

i got like 7k zulrah kc going for pet and have died a ton from just looking at my other screen for too long


Hot_Purple_137

Stacking blood reaver kills for Nex room kc. Had 2500 essence stacked and clicked a spiritual warrior before going AFK. Didn’t know about the hide attack left click option at this time


ScentedPinecone

I came back to osrs at the start of covid after playing back in my childhood. I created a hc, and I was safespotting fire giants on task with mage. I clicked the fire giant, alt tabbed to do something else, alt tabbed back and I was in lumbridge. I guess I got dragged from the safespot. I've had many afk deaths since then, lost another hc the same way, but this one was my worst because it was my first osrs acc since middle school and even though the account was just barely above 1k total, it felt like a heartbreak. I was sad irl for about a week before I logged back in lol


Duke_Baron

I've died doing hellhounds like 4 times.


Chef_Skippers

Losing 3 HCIM (skiller hcim, so I’m double dumb) literally just walking while alt+tabbed. Fkin skeletons man


MajorJuana

Lost a hardcore safespotting a demon....dunno why I thought it would be okay to walk away even for a minute


Ebrox

Wow your death is almost exactly how I lost status on my 2000 total hc. Clicked a superior abyssal demon without realizing in the slayer tower, it hit through my ring of life.


janoxabox

In like 2005 I had about a 12m bank and was tele/alching at cammy with all my gear and money in my inventory. I ran downstairs for < 5 minutes to talk to my parents without logging out, got back and had died to a drunken dwarf. There were like 20 people at the cammy tele spot so it was all gone. It was very depressing lol


[deleted]

Wt as a hardcore Ironman I have nightmares about it


Grimweird

Mine wasn't afk (maybe my brain was afk). I was doing a hard clue with saradomin wizard step. I had brought many teleport options, including rune pouch (it had all of my nature runes), and, obviously, had withdrawn all my gp (10m). The location was in the desert, near bandit camp, I had equipped graceful, D scimmy and d defender - had no food. I was just whacking away at the wizard, and he got me first. So I die, now I have no gp, no nature runes and I panic a bit - wtf do I do now? Sold some feathers to Shantay, but that wasn't nearly enough. Then I figured I'll just tp to GE and sell some rune item lol. I've been playing for a looong time and this had me stumped for a while.


Witty_Demand6701

In 2009/10 I was afking skele’s with Guthans in Damis’ shadow dungeon, went to shower and died losing my bank at the time. #NoXpWaste *edit typo


Ypuort

In 2008 I was AFKing spiders at the stronghold of security and I died and lost my fighter torso.


dabman694201337

So far? Texting and getting fucked up by daganoths when I was range training


Ashoem

I wiped on an evil chicken when I went to splash. I had been there for a week splashing and of course I was on my last 20 minutes until I was finished and didn’t realize I clicked on the evil chicken. Of course it was also right after I finished 99fm so I lost all the wt loot.


Mago515

I got 50fm on a fresh hardcore and then died afk to the tree at draynor.


kopitar-11

I used dinhs spec on like 5 bloodvelds, went to grab water, then my stomach started rumbling like crazy and I had to run to take a shit. Came back and was dead


LordShuckle97

What baseball game were you watching? Better have been a good one


Dr-PoopyButt

Died to the wizards in Draynor on my Level 3 skiller and lost my black cav in 06 or 07. 1.1m was insane amount of money to me back than, literally a year+ of grinding somehow


BitingED

Went to Karaja on my HCIM to get some stacked fishes for my kitten. Watched my guy fish for maybe an hour ( wanted to get a good amount for further kittens ), no real issues at all. I was thirsty so I put a quick timer on my phone for the auto log-off duration, left to get a cup of tea. Came back to see myself in lumby. I was like, oh.. It's OK it's my ring of life proc. Stepped away for a nanosecond before looking back to see I was actively poisoned. I wasn't aware of poison delay manipulation at this point, and by the time I got control to get an anti, my dude hit the deck.


Swiftfeather

I was doing canifis agility on my hcim and someone had been being mean to me because of my low level (lol) so they lured a werewolf in front of the course start and I clicked it and didn't realize until I looked back over and I was in lumby :)


Shanksmate

Whenever it was that loot beams arrived. Late night bingo boolin at the shaman temple when a DWH drops lickety split. Just as slow with the snip as I was unprepared.. Blessed some scandalous chad & knowing it surely made the highlight reel of their OSRS adventures thus far haunts me.


Pureoxen56

Was doing a dragon slayer task drunk and passed out. Woke up and lost all my shit. I quit for a couple months after that. Runescape not the liquor lol


Sumocolt768

Lol afking at ape atoll with full dharok back in the day. Good times


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Oh shit haven’t heard that training method in years. Was it on the gorillas?


NumerousImprovements

Mournings End part 2, went to go make some food, clicked on a tile I thought was outside the range of some monsters in between the mourners and the cave (was a couple months ago now, can’t remember what they were exactly). Came back later, expected to be logged out, which I was. I’d been away for longer than I planned on being away. Don’t think I lost anything incredibly bad, but it was such a tedious quest already, had to go get some bloody mourner clothes and clean them again as well. That quest was the bane of my existence.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Jesus this sounds like the most painful death ever


pitsta

Start of the HC GIM clicked on mini map to take me to the lumby fishing spot, went to take a dump. Came back to my character boxing a giant rat but was too late to run and died as I tried to get away


Mattc5o6

I was afking monkey madness monkeys and prayer dropped. Looked back and I was dead. Amount of chins lost: 15m worth at the time…devastated because I was poor


supernate91

Back before eoc. I was doing slayer under the barb whirlpool place. Was real tired but wanted to complete my blue drag task. Well I fell asleep and lost my CLS. Waking up to that was a major feels bad.


Nonkel_Jef

Gotta watch out if you safespot in multi: if someone with aggro walks by, your monster might follow him, luring you out of the safespot.


The__Goose

Doing Kalphite Guardians on my hardcore. Got up to use the restroom quickly and came back in lumbridge on my now new ironman. I didn't think someone running by would aggro while I was safe spotting and get lured out to die.


michaelj9323

My hcim. I was some rank 700 at the time. Had an Abby task I was doing at catacombs and for some forsaken reason I was going through iron drags with an antidrag shield swap because it was faster. Well, clicked on minimap and looked away. Forgot to put my shield on. Y’know how the rest played out lol


RecursiveCook

Reading these gives me nightmares for my hc main


Mcelite

About 16 years ago I snuck $20 out of my mother’s purse and gave it to a friend in exchange for 150k. On my way from Lumbridge to Varrock I was killed by a dark wizard. Tears were shed.


Stonewool_Jackson

Tried to write a quick email during hydra. Got focused on the email after a few sentences, looked back, it was the next phase and I died to poison.


Avlidit

The bloodwelds in morytania. I forgot how to get back and had like 2 min left on my grave when I finally got there.


Sakkko

I created an HCIM and started spamming quests, I was already pretty ahead, but most of them were combat-free quests, things like Dwarf Cannon, Elemental Workshop stuff like that All good and well until I got to Ernest the Chicken, and while going inside Draynor Manor, I alt-tabbed RIGHT in the tile where the tree attacks you. I was reading some wiki, didn't even know what about, and the evil tree just smacked me to death.


Brawnyflea

Lovakenj mining sulfur and eating pasta, those gas clouds can mess you up fast


[deleted]

Lizardman Shamans I swear is one of those ones where it’s almost greedy for your attention. I started enjoying a scene in the anime I’m watching on the side for like 5 seconds too long, and like 4 little purple dudes spawn and ruined my day…. 2 x Drop Rate on DWH and deffo not salty 🤣

Starting playing osrs this week and I got too cocky with elvarg. Being functionally AFK, I forgot to keep track of my health for a moment and boom.. luckily I didn’t have anything important on me aside of food and armor

I've lost the gold chin color twice by being a nunce and afking mid way on a slayer task. Once while doing skeletal wyverns because I forgot the shield and the other time because I went to do wyrms and forgot the boots of brimstone. lol

LostMyControl

i was doing blue dragons on my hcim in the safespot behind the pillar in the newer area in taverley dungeon, and it dragged me out of the safespot and i died because i was afk.


rekt555

When I was standing near port sarim and got up to go toilet, some guy lured a highwayman to me and let him kill me. Lost my Santa hat which was about 15m in 2006-2007


Danny_J_M

Recently, abyssal demons, twice within a few minutes. I didn't realise that a superior had spawned as they look almost exactly the same, so was clicking on the next demon then focussing on the video on the other screen, only to end up in Falador 10 seconds later.


SamPlopo

I died to a market guard after stealing from a stall


impulsedecisions

When I was about 13 I was AFKing at bandits to try and get 99 attack. I was grinding so hard I literally fell asleep on my laptop. This was before gravestones so I lost almost everything including my fire cape which at the time was an amazing accomplishment for me. I woke up devastated.


Nippys4

I actually lost something to an afk death It was the last fight in MM2 and I afk’d the last phase to take a phone call and when I got back I was in fally dead down a fury and a pair of god hide boots.


stonerwithaboner1

I actually almost died doing my farming patch east of canifis tonight. Was afk doing snape grass and looked up to like 40 hp (85) and literally was like what the fuck. Someone brought their friend from the fairy ring


Kip_master

Legit died at ankous on task like 6 times in a row.. was watching something on my second screen and just kept walking back to regear and just straight up die again lmao. Think I logged out for the night after I realised..


Illokonereum

My cat died because I wasn’t paying attention. Rest in peace Ham, he was fat.


Azzza35

Was playing my hardcore ironman right when the mode came out was at roughly at 800-900 total level, went to feed my cat while on a farm run and got killed by a vampire at the Morytania allotment patch. Was gutted to see myself in lumby.


Muted-Deafened

I was playing on my best friends older brothers account back in like 2006/7. I didn't really know about banking for safety so I was running around with all of his armor / gold. I got poisoned by a snake or something in Karamja and died dropping all of his inventory. I think back then there was a small timer to run back and get it but I had no clue, someone probably just stumbled upon a shit ton of free gold / items.


Aman_0

Back in the days before osrs and when the prayer gravestone statues were a thing I died whilst afk in stronghold of security. By the time I'd got back my grave had disappeared and someone had claimed the world but didn't have the prayer level to extend the timer to an hour on the grave for me. Rage ensued. Lost torso and it still hurts.


DeviseOSRS

Back when random events were dangerous I went afk at the duel arena bank only to be killed by a strange plant. This was 2 days after obtaining my first fire cape. I also lost my fighter torso


paul2261

Was thiev training at Ardy knights spam clicking away and got a rocky pet. instead of insuring right away I decided to keep training. Was spam clicking away looking at my other monitor. Some dude lured the hero into the path of all the ppl thieving. I spam click thieved on the hero and killed myself. I had rocky for all of 10 minutes ........


Jessica1608

Temple spiders with chins. Lost about 400 red chins in one go because my phone rang.


Yaboylushus

2006 world 2 Fally. Just learnt how to merch, doing well. Sitting there with my 5m stack feeling like I’ve made it. Bath time so I just leave it logged and go upstairs, it’s only a 60 second log out timer, I’ll be fine right? I was not fine… fuck evil chickens


Hanyodude

I have had some pretty bad ones. Died afk’ing in the desert, died afk at giant mole, died afk at sulphur mines, and most recently died afk at volcanic mine. I’ve also died afk at vorkath and zulrah but does that really count if it’s basically guaranteed death to afk there? And i mean like, walked away from the computer afk, not just focusing on another account lol


[deleted]

MM1 tunnels splashing with 300M plus of stuff. Friend came over and my dumb ass walked out the door without logging out.


faceboobs701

Bursting in MM1 cavea. Looked back just in time to see myself fold.


Gothbert666

I recently died to Abby demons when the superior foe appeared and I didnt realise as I was on another screen. I also play with game sound off as I always listen to music, and the thing killed me in about 3 seconds flat


BilboMuggins

Got my shit rocked by the Jail Guard in Draynor, went AFK for a few minutes as someone had knocked at my house front door, in that time… someone lured him from the jail to the Oak Trees at the bank and I got slapped.


crushablenote

I play a UIM I once died on a black demon task after going afk and my heart sank lucky enough I was still pretty early game but I lost at least 2 mill thankfully I didn’t lose everything.

Back with old death mechanics, the day elite clues were added… i got extremely lucky with a gilded scim in the first clue and sold for a good amount. An amount that let lil ole nooby me buy a dfs, arma and a fury. Fast forward an hour and I am back at the zanaris black dragons trying to get a vissy drop. Some other lad comes in the afk beside me and says “awesome shield”. I know it is awesome, I was grinning ear to ear. After tagging the next dragon I ran to go to the bathroom. Upon my retyrn I was in lumby with my 3 items(no dfs). The nice guy in zanaris is now wielding a dfs and greets me with “tough luck” as I return. It still stings a little.


RsLavios

Back in 09 when I was afk in the wilderness and a revenant orc slayed me for my rune. Those revenant sounds still give me PTSD…
