Wow, I live across the street from Gunn, how come I haven't heard about this..?

Rest in Peace, Garth.

You will find more hurt and anger from what you will see than you will find happiness and closure. The negativity and anonymity brought forth by a virtual community will abhor those who have a real life stake in the event, and you will be outraged at the behavior you will see.

Just friendly advice from someone who has seen it transpire in several attempts at in game memorials - don't.

Best wishes to your friend's family.

Tend to his family and friends, not to a community where some punk @$$hole might come and ruin it.

Best wishes

Have a funeral outside of the game, not in it. It's just going to lead to flames.

Rest in Peace

However ya I wouldn't hold a funeral in a GW public place like ice tooth cave there are people from that WoW alliance in GW so they might have bad ideas about what to do.

However perhaps you could hold the funeral in your guild hall.

Best place would be the guild hall if people are causing trouble you can just remove there guest privileges.

Much like it was said, it is better to keep it a private memorial and not a largly public one. you will be angered by people who don't know better, don't care, and want to piss off others in any matter possible.

I wouldnt hold a largly public one, and if there was one, i would go and probably be angered myself at the behavior that will most likely be evident.

And yet, may he travel safely to the Mists, and be among those in the
Hall of Heros!!!

I kinda agree, it's a stupid move to post it here on the internet unless you're deliberately looking for someone to mess things up.

I have a shield of anonymity on the internet, and I COULD choose to act like an asshole about this guy's death, but I also have a strong code of ethics and I won't. It's too bad I can't say the same for others on the internet. So it's best to leave the mourning to real life people and not to people over the internet who lives thousands of miles away and probably don't care.

Just let him be. People mourn in different ways and in any way they can. As long as it's not harmful then let him honor his friend. I bet you wouldnt want someone to tell you how to mourn when your loved one dies.

If you don't agree with the way he's doing it, then dont post.
