When I was a Noob I lost my only extra Blurite sword after being killed by a zombie random event.
I was killing guards outside of the west Varrock bank, and burying their bones for prayer exp. Since I was near the bank I thought It wouldn't kill me to not be at full HP. Guards never hit that high anyway. I got this random though that a Zombie event would soon spawn, and that I should heal. Well I neglected to heal, and wouldn't you know it a zombie spawned landed a nice hit on me killing me flat out before I could even move.
This was long before gravestones, and the sword wasn't one of my three most valuable items at the time. When I got back to Varrock it had already despawned. :(
This is one of my most memorable Noob moments since the sword cannot be re-obtained after you finish The Knight's Sword quest, and at the time it was my favorite item.

TL;DR. Lost my only Blurite sword to a Zombie event because I neglected to heal before burying bones. :P

I remember the 1st day @ g.e.,another player told me to follow him,cuz being a noob,he would show me a gr8 place to go,etc. I followed him to Draynor mansion! I got so scared....he left me there not knowing how to get out!
..I got lost near Draynor and when the jail guard approached,I told him "hi",thinking he(WAS ANOTHER PLAYER) came over to be friendly & help me... He proceeded to kill me & I had 30k gp on me,as I did not even know how to bank yet! 2.7 yrs later I'M STILL HERE!......loooooooool :D Bella

@Bernalda - I also attempted to talk to NPCs when I started. Especially ones that actually yelled things at you. My example being Highway man. Tutorial Island didn't really cover that aspect of NPC interaction at least from what I can remember. It's been so long.

Another frequent problem I had was determining my combat level. I could always figure out other players level easily since it's on the right click menu, but I would constantly keep asking other players to tell me what my combat level was. I kept doing that until some nice player kindly informed me out to check for myself.
