I've seen four natural 100's on /random 100 in my career... 2 by me and 2 by
my wife, and we've done A LOT of randoms. Maybe I'm just lucky and haven't
hit that whole bubble of XP lost random yet :-). If she ever died, I'd be
able to tell you how much XP she lost. She's also level 35 with full
crafted from questing and 14 days less playing time then I!
