So anyone here who played Demon's souls has suffered the pleasure of losing a nice amount of precious souls. Which was your most amount of souls lost while trying to get to your blood stain? Mine would be about 320,000+. I lost it while trying to get to my Blood stain on World 4-2. 

About 300,000, my stupid self went to get the colorless demon soul in 1-1 as soon as I started NG +, and died twice jumping down onto the beam where it's at.

approx. 700,000, which I lost walking off an edge thanks to a someone distracting me while trying to get the blood stain....

Yup, I know which beam you are referring to. I eventually gave up and decided it will be easier to just get my world to Pure Black Tendency.

Sad thing is, I got it, then died on my way down, then died again on my way down. I got it without any deaths before :( "

Can't resist that enticing glowing treasure orb, huh? "

I believe the most I've ever lost was about 110k, and it was in a very stupid manner also, like I died in one of those red eyed dual katana wielding skeletons on world 4-1(those bastards are lethal in NG+), then when trying to make my way back to my blood stain I accidentally dodge rolled out of the damn cliff.... man I think I never cursed so energetically in my life.

About 30,000. I'm on playthrough one and SL 76, so haven't really got to the big losses yet :)

Around 500,000 
 
I was grinding for soul points at the usual spot in 4-2 but accidentally got killed by those glowy guys. 
  
Now I use my souls whenever I get enough.

About 75000. Not that it was a huge amount but it sucked just the same. It took me about 2 hours to get by the blue dragon on my first play through. I was ill equipped and under levelled. I finally made it through and had to sit my controller down to recharge the mana with a ring because I had no spice left. While I was getting a drink, some donkey entered my game and killed me.

I don't know about "fair is fair" but I'll accept it. I didn't really think it was fair to be invaded 8 times on my first play through between lv 11 and 20 but some jerks with higher levels and way over powered weapons thought it was. I think it kinda sucks to be expected to play offline and not play with friends or summon to avoid chickenhawking. I could hold my own now, but thats pretty frustrating for beginners.

You guys are crazy for carrying that much around. The most I have ever lost is about 9,000.

I'm relatively new to it. So far, I've completed 1-1, 1-2, 3-1, 4-1 and now I'm on 4-2.  I never even gave a thought to the whole invading thing so yeah, I see what you are saying.

Not sure how much it was but i do know that rolling around near the edge of a cliff is not smart.

about 250,000
 
I made a stupid move, and got killed by the 3rd reaper in 4-2... so I decided  to go backwards, and skip having to go through 4-2 again (which wasn't hard at all)... Nope instead, I go back to the Nexus and choose 4-4 instead of 4-3, and wasn't prepared. Those fricken mantas raped me in 2 seconds.. I was confused, then sad :(

Am I bad for exploiting the 4-2 reaper for soul farming? It's just so....easy.

Once you open up the usual farming area, you can grind out a significant number of souls in a short period of time. It makes the loss of souls less infuriating.

The most I lost was ~120k messing around in 5-1 on NG+ playing with character tendency (trying to get the friend's ring) and world tendency. I beat the boss after moving through the level without any deaths and was screwing around in his area. I forgot I had evacuate queued in my casting slot and evacuated out BEFORE touching the archstone. My world tendency should have been PWWT, but since I have not touched the archstone, it does not yet count. Now I am pissed off at myself and go trudging back through the level (forgetting I am in body form which occurs prior to touching the archstone). I get to the point in the level with the rats and think I have fireballed all of them. I lure out the giant goblin and suddenly notice I have been bitten by a rat, which throws off my concentration and my spell lock and I am killed in one stroke by the goblin. FUUUU ... I realize I have died in body form and screwed up my WT. Now pissed off, I work my way back through the level and figure instead of fireball, I will firestorm all the stupid rats. Except, I forget the wretched lady vendor is on the level just above the rats. Needless to say, she did not survive the firestorm and my character tendency took the hit. In a bit of a tantrum, I murder the giant goblin, stomp up to my bloodstain, and get killed by the fire pole wielding goblin hiding in the shack's corner.

I had to walk away for a little while after that - basically it was my own stupidity and impatience that had caused me problems. I was not so upset about the souls, but was frustrated I had managed to screw up BOTH my PWWT and my PWCT at the same time.

Millions, I think it was around playthrough 5 or 6. Granted it takes a butt ton to really level any more. Last I played my soul level was around 700ish. 

20,000 which was not even enough for one level at the time.

20000 but that was 15000 short of leveling up.
