I gave a character amnesia in response to massive injuries she withstood. You might remember that Maril.
Honestly, as far as MMO RP goes, it's another one of those 'how it's presented in context by the writer' scenarios. Folk who meet her these days have no idea what happened before unless they get to know her well enough for it to come up. One character made a joke about her having been hit in the head once and it upset her and folk around her that knew because...yes. Yes, she did get hit in the head rather badly lol.
People get turned off when they can tell the person behind the keyboard is really forcing a character detail regardless of what the detail is. Don't do that and play the idea as it comes up and as it makes sense and you'll generally just run into fewer problems I think.
