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).
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.
