I've been talking a to a bunch of people offline about this and feel I should shout it too.

I don't know: I found the video highly amusing but it's all based on something that's (in the end) an important and upsetting event.

I agree, you've got to wonder why anyone would decide that the best place to hold a memorial service is in one of the limited places where it can be disrupted, and then to announce the service to everyone (including those who are inclined to disrupt it) :-S.

But I would say that this IS a reality check. There is this kind of dual life mentality at the moment - mild mannered 14yr old John from Sussex is in fact '|Deathdealers|Xortax ' by night and will summarily call all and any a 'Nab' if he feels like it, and pour scorn on anything as infantile as an online funeral. However, come morning he'll be off to school to study buddhism happily in Religious education - without a single thought for the events in WoW the night before.

This event is interesting, it brings this dual life home to people who invest in it.

Quote "Hey GrandMassa. Your fucked-up ranting makes you sound not only like a general fuckwit but a specific one, i.e. one of my aforementioned despised hardcore onliners. Just a guess here: you're one of the guys that did it, by chance?"

First and Foremost my friend, you cannot spell ASS without Assumption (or vice versa)... I play on a PvP server Called Destromath, were the TRUE PVP is. Skilled PvP, not moral. So no I didn't do it, were you one of the ones killed? rofl.

As for being a general Fuckwit, nice way to 'Generalize' not being able to phrase a proper 'Comeback' to what I said, so in the Spirit of my PvPriest "SWP n Mindblast n Fear...GG pwned".

Hardcore Onliners? Nah man, I come on and read forums because I like to debate ^_^. And our Prof. recommends E-Forums for Textular Debates. But it's because im a fuckwit and a borderline reject... good one muffin.

Then again, whats a Hardcore onliner to you? We are in the 2000s dude, the Internet stopped becoming 'Nerdy' a long time ago.. if thats what you were trying to get at? (Subliminal OMG NERD calling?)

I'm just amazed that you've taken so much interest in me... Want my Number?

I do play Video Games though in my free time... I mean its alot better then putting the nuts to your girlfriend/mom/grandmother/father (in that order, EXACT order).

PS

I save the BEST for last :D

good point cytos,

I think fundamentally this was an evil act. It actually makes a lot of sense for people to have a service online- after all it is the forum those people knew the deceased. Doubtless for some of those people that 'online service' meant a lot. In world war 1 the troops would actually come out of the trenches and greet each other briefly on Christmas- should one side had used this to their advantage? Does war necessarily mean you can torture POWs and drop napalm on civilians? Those are extreme real world examples but I think they show that a civilized code of conduct can and ideally should co-exist with combat, and I'd say it applies to the online realm as well.

It was pretty amusing though.

Quote "I agree with you on everything, but you have failed to miss one aspect MORALS, its what shapes the world. Now anyone knows that what they did was not wrong (in a general point of view), as it is just a game like you said, however when you're talkin from a MORAL point of view, it was low and pathetic so why is it so agonising for you to understand that MOST people disagree with what they did"

IcedEarth (Awesome band btw), I Dodged the Moral aspect (quite cleverly) because it doesn't sit well with me, I have mixed feelings. Yes I fully agree that this dead women did NOT deserve the ganking... She deserved a private funeral.

BUT the other people attending her funeral did, and the others who staged the funeral.

And its a issue because when I type in my account name and pass, I think to myself that: "This is a Game and its not real, so i don't have to deal with any love stories or drama or Funerals...." Understand that viewpoint?

Trust me, its not as simple as 'OMG THEY ARE KIDS' 'OMG THEY ARE DUMB'.

Think of it this way dude, They brought reality into a game. Reality slowly began to leak out and (The Game) PVP became more predominant.

In all honesty, let me post on the forums that my priest died as a advertisement... and they are holding a funeral for my toonie in a area where ALL PVP GOES... I'm betting it will be ransacked.

As for all those EQ players, FFXI, DaoC enraged by this... I ask you this, if you were to set up a funeral for a REALLY good friend whom died in a game, would you make it in a cutthroat pvp area? Exactly.

Just to inform: Winterspring = Level 55 - 60 Area, Maximum level in WoW is 60... does this seem like a good place to hold one? Heh, right.

As for Understanding, I understand fully my friend. This woman dies while playing warcraft, they hold a funeral, funeral gets steamrolled, feedback created.

I'm not saying this woman deserves this. I'm saying the people who set up this E-funeral, in that time, at that place, on that server deserved to have it ruined for not planning.

Next time use your brains instead of thinking this: Well she died in REAL life, so no one is gonna ruin that on a brutal PvP dramawhore server because this is a real event, and all players will bow to this real event and throw ALL aspects of fun-gaming out the window because WE as a group want to hold something special...

Think: I really miss her, lets hold a ceremonial funeral type thing in a safe place so it will go along smoothly... Make sure we have some PvP masters just-in-case someone finds a loophole.

Simple Arrogance. On Both parts.

Oh and Stylborn and all other of 'his kind'. All it takes to understand what I am saying is concentration. take the time to read what I type instead of proofreading. You'll see im not disgracing the memory of the poor dead girl in the least, I'm arguing the fact she didnt have a proper WoW burial actually! (^_^)

I gotta give these guys credit for having the balls to pull this off. But at the same time, it was a serious thing they fucked up.

Piece of advice, do something like that on a normal or pve server.

FidoMeet Joe Sixpack
Howdy everybody, Joe Sixpack here. I never met you all before, but I was having some pops last night with my bud Fido and he said if I wrote this down, he’d fix up the spellun’ and put it on the internet. He’s mostly full of shit, but I did it anyway.This is about Thursday night. The wife had the kids at football practice and going by her sister’s and I was home tipping back some cold ones and looking for something to watch on TV. I seen the debate thing was on b...

As we know, everyone in Washington DC are assholes of varying degree. Last week we called Sarah Palin out for being a dumb cunt and an asshole. And that's coming from me. If you're actually voting for Palin, people named cadpig, you're a dumb asshole enabler. Palin is worthless and would have the US on a road to destruction that would involve hurting our allies too.What's even more disturbing than people who watched Palin on Katie Couric wanting to vote for her ...
