You people make me sick. Is this really a subject to talk about "true pvp"? a person DIED! he or she lost his LIFE. what is so bad about people having a funeral to remember a player they have known well ingame? I also lost a close friend I have known ingame 2 years ago,she died in a car accident with her mother and she was only 16 years old. and yes, we held an ingame memorial for her.Why don't you come yell it in my face I'm a geek for doing something to remember her? its always easy to talk from the sideline, isn't it?its easy to yell "OMGZ THATS FUR GEEKS LOLOL!11" when it didn't happen to you. this isn't about the pvp, its about people ruining something people are doing to pay respect to someone who died. who cares if it was in a game? I see no reason why that should suddenly give you the right to ruin it. these people lack respect for the person who died, and imo, deserve a ban for lifetime.
people say World of Warcraft and Guild Wars have immature people playing, but they are mature compared to some of the retards on this forum.
Not only that but then the immature assholes had to spread it all over the forum (as far as I can see) insulting the dead guy and his friends.
The dead deserve better.
Either there won't be any services held anymore, or the next time security will be present. I'm hoping for the last option.

"this site needs a graveyard forum for us to mourn."
My god the MMORPG.com forums are infested with carebears.
1. under no circumstance should one make a funeral or anything of that nature in a contested zone.
2. no such things should be done in a game period, a person died ok RIP, but keep that crap out of the game, go to her funeral irl, send flowers, but this stuff is innapropriate in the game.
3. if it is held in a contested zone, post guards up to protect you, dont be an idiot
4.the Horde guys did EXACTLY what was asked of them, by the game (TO KILL THE ALLEGIANCE), subsequently they did just that, and succeeded. Nothing wrong with what they did whatsoever. Its the Allegiance's fault they were being carebears about it and did not take the safety measures that were necessary.
Now stop with the pantie twisting.
I couldn't read parts of the video. I bet the person who died is laughing right now. Some people need a reality check, it wasn't a real funeral.
No annoying animated GIF here!
I love how people defend being an A-hole because it's "just a game". Wake up. If you are a piece of sh$t online, it still makes your a piece of sh$t. This whole attitude of "You can't hold it against me cause I'm playing a game" is crap.
On the other hand, it WAS stupid to hold that ceremony in contested area of a PvP server, there's no doubt there. The whole situation could have been completely avoided. They may have been naive to the true nature of the online A-hole, but that didn't give the PK'rs the right to make the video and bash the dead.
But whatever, what goes around comes around. Your Kharma keeps track of what you do online too. They will get what's coming to them.

THAT WAS AWESOME! Thanks for the vid!
To all of you melodramatic buffoons, an MMO is not a place to have a funeral, wedding, silent vigil or anything of that nature... Especially a game like WoW and especially on a PvP server! Its a video game guys, who really gives a rip...
To anyone who took offence to what SN did in this video, slowly step away from your computer and go for a walk outside...
It isn't about what they did in game, it is what they did after in the forums to publicly humilate a dead person.

As for the general "it shouldn't be done in a game!" thing, why, exactly, shouldn't it be?
In any place where people can meet, communicate, form friendships and otherwise socialise, it's natural for a response to an event such as a death to occur there. Saying 'it's a game' shows nothing but a distinct lack of understanding as to what a game, particularly a MMORPG, actually is.

I haven't seen any of the forum activity, but if the Blizz mods left up what they said, then it must not be that bad...
What exactly is the problem then? After rereading the whole thread, I am not finding a real concrete example of how these people truly 'crossed the line'...
And hold the phone with that 'publicly humiliate a dead person'... The publicly humiliated that person's avatar, not the person themselves... Remembering someone on a forum who passed away is worthless, unless you are friends in RL and happen to be on the same forum...
People, when gamers get behind a computer, the anonominity kicks in and that person is no longer 'themselves', but rather a graphical representation of themself that may or may not reflect who they are in RL... And the WoW forum boards, being as inpersonal as they are, isn't some close knit community that can be shatterred by the actions of a few... The WoW forums are a despotic gathering of PK'ers and is a glorified kill board...
You really think the people in SN honestly disrespect a RL dead person? Come on guys, you need to see the forest for the trees here...
Does anyone know for a fact, that anyone actually died in real life, or is it one of the emotional vampires, seeking attention?
Sometimes all you hear in the games is, oh my best friend died, then weeks later the same best friend is playing again and it changes to a brother.
Some folk do it for attention, some do it as they cannot help it.
But unless there was some clarification that someone real, really did die, like a picture of a real person at a real funeral, I would not worry about it to much.
If they only new the person who allegedly had died, from online how did they know he was dead, I cannot see his family logging in to his account to tell everyone as they would not know his password. Nor would they care at that time about folks in a game.
I stopped believing the sad stories people tell a long time ago, and take it with a pinch of salt.

simply put i do not want to log in a video game and have people telling me "dont kill us we are here for a funeral". I dont go around a game telling my sad stories and insecurities, my grandparent that passed away and all that good stuff. This is a video game, learn to play it like its a video game, and keep your personal crap out of it, this goes for everyone. When one logs in its supposed to detach from reality for a little bit, not be called a looser for killing some noobs who just decided to honor someone ingame for playing it and then dieing (rip i dont mean to say anything bad about her personally- dont get me wrong), no sir i will kill and loot them (if possible).
you guys need to realize MMORPG is not the medium to let out frustration and sadness and burdening my consciousness because of you or someone else - its a role playing game - if you roleplay a wedding or a funeral ingame thats fine, i will roleplay the bad guy as the Game intended me to be, and kill you
and i have played MMORPGs for about 6 years now, i understand what they "acctualy are" as you put it, and its not someone's funeral place thats for sure
People project different versions of themselves all the time whether in 'real life', or online. One persona for their family, another for their friends, etc., etc. By that logic, rembering anyone is worthless because you might not actually know them - that's clearly absurd. Even if you only know one aspect of them, you know them, and the desire to remember them reflects that.
And on top of that, there isn't a clear line you can draw between 'real life' and 'online', 'online' is part of real life.
I really most of the arguments applauding the disrespect revolve around one person's life being more important than another person's, which I personalyl don't believe in. A human life is a human life, saying otherwise is trying to give yourself the right to go on a murderous rampage.

There is a diffrence between a funeral for your grandparents and for a friend you know ingame. I really fail to see what is so bad for remembering people you know ingame. when a football player died in the past few days, people will hold silence for a while before any other the match start ( at least they have that respect over here, don't know if thats also at your place) is that wrong too, because there should be played football? should television stop broadcasting things to remember people who died in things like WW2 because a tv should be for entertainment and news?

I think you need to realize the people could most likely not go to the real funeral of the girl. a girl in a whole diffrent place died, not the girl next door. they asked for a moment to remember the girl who died , is that really too much to ask? these days? please understand that the one who crashed the funeral didn't drop by accident. they planned to ruin it. don't hide behind the roleplaying excuse, nobody roleplays in the game 24/7.
What you don't seem to realise in particular is that games - any games, not just video games - are not detached from reality, they're part of it. And when you're playing a game with other people - you're with other people. And people do not just switch off when they play games, they still think, they still feel - why do you think you can't go around swearing your head off and insulting them?
Maybe you turn into a psychopath when you play, but most don't.
And naturally, you wouldn't go around generally telling everyone about your life (although people often do talk about it with particular friends), but that's because it's not generally relevant. The death of a friend from within the game most definitely is relevant.
