          They are talking about everquest, if I understand the messages correctly:

          a) trump has to sell a rare and valuable in game item because of his financial troubles

          b) a common call for help when a player is getting overwhelmed by enemies, probably due to poor judgment/overestimation of ones abilities

          c) asking for handouts to pay for a "resurrection" that will allow a playable character who lost a fight to be put back in the game.

            Notably, the purpose of the "train" was to get your corpse as close to a safe spot as possible. You need to loot your own corpse to recover your items, or they're lost forever.

            Death also came with a substantial experience loss, and you could lose levels through death. Resurrection mitigated most of that (and fully eliminated it once Alternate Advancement points opened up).
