I go to corn of one game, pick up everything except 1 of the 2 stone swords and a clock, run away, it all disappears, get the first chest on my route which includes a wood sword and a wood axe and some other food, it disappears. I then go back to get my stuff again, half of it disappears (including the wood axe) and when i go fight the first person there who i could have easily killed, and after a few hits it does no damage. So my sword runs out of hits and he still has lots of his health, so i run away with my 1 heart and im jumping over a hole, lag back and fall in.
Sounds like you were lagging really bad...that really sucks. :/ (Also, for people who cannot get anything at corn or chests period even with zero lag - when going for corn, you may hold right click instead of hitting it once - do not do this. The result of this is that you will actually right click the chest twice, and it will close the chest but keep the screen open. NCP will put the items back since it determined the chest was not actually opened by you. Run up to the chest and click once immediately when it gets within range, that's the best way to do it. I never have the problem.)
Anyway - my story...
I was on Breeze Island, I got very lucky with gear and had nearly full iron/diamond sword within the first 3 minutes. I continued going around the island trying to kill people, when I spotted someone in the trees near the top of one of the hills. I chase him up there, and when I get to him, I nearly kill him, and NCP kicks in and I'm no longer able to hit him - as a result, he gets 3-4 hits in with a wooden axe and knocks me all the way down to the bottom of the cliff, killing me. On the way down to collect my stuff, he takes half a heart of fall damage and dies. z.z
That right there is why I am now absolutely terrified of heights on MCSG. One single hit from someone unexpectedly and you'll tumble to your doom, or one little bit of NCP and you cannot knock the opponent back enough to recover, causing uncontrollable death. I absolutely refuse to go up onto the hills in Breeze Island now. You cannot make me go up there. >.>
Honestly, once the problems with NCP are fixed, I'll go back up in places like that again. Until then, fights on cliffs, buildings and mountains are simply a matter of who got NCP'd first. I will not fight unless I have a place to run to.
