i remember one time on my old server, there was some sort of bug with the database server, everyone logged in to find that all their gear was completely gone, sometimes characters weren't available on the login screen... basically the entire server was naked. i think it must have actually been at least the entire battlegroup, because i seem to remember doing a few bg's where everyone was naked. the issue was fixed in about 2 hours, and everyone's purplz/alts were restored.

the whole experience was pretty arousing.
I think they did this a long time ago to help reduce loot lag until they could figure out what was causing it.

I remember all of my toons being naked at the character selection screen.
