Reminds me of the time I did that at a real funeral.

I think they should realize it's a video game. People join a video game server to play video games.

This just goes to show that most people with high level characters take WoW WAY too seriously. That's why I got the hell out of there once I hit level 60, because most of the people still playing at that point are too "hard core" to enjoy teaming with.

i thoroughly enjoyed that. thanks OP. My girlfriend doesnt know anything about WoW and liked it, i dont get what was not to understand.
That funniest thing on the internet I've ever seen.
I can't believe how utterly pathetic human beings are that they'd (1) be so consumed by a fantasy world that (2) they'd actually try to have a memorial and "viewing of the body". Fvcking losers of the first order. Such precious time of life, wasted on that?
The guy who did that is my hero, though he's probably as much of a loser as they are for even playing the game in the first place.

As opposed to a sticky thread on an internet forum?

You can be sure that if anyone posted anything inappropriate in that thread, the mods would instaban that person, and half the people on this forum would jump all over the poster too. Why is this any different?
It's all about respect (or lack thereof).

Self analysis:
This is a very interesting video.
On one hand, those holding the ceremony could be seen as rather pathetic. In the end, WoW is a game, and they are attempting to compensate for a lackluster real-life social life by acting out something as sacred, as real, and as visceral as a funeral, in a make believe world. While they might have real-life relationships, they are now blurring the line between the truly humanistic, and the virtual, where relationships are completely anonymous from the start, and are based on finding as much as you can from the other person without, many times, ever seeing their person. They are completely eroding not only the validity, but the sacredness of one-on-one contact and doing a bad job of it in the process. In the end, they are just nerds trying to find some social outlet for their interests and such, and getting pwned while you are down is usually funny. They were being weirdoes and expected to be accommodated in a game, and got their asses handed to them. While I didn?t understand the details of the game in the video, the whole premise, and the video itself were pretty funny. Nerds got pwned by assholes once again, for the gazillionth time in history. Live a little. Laugh it off.
On the other hand, we, as a society, are more entrenched in the digital realm that is the internet than ever before. It has gone beyond email and IM, beyond file transfer and simple business transactions. Relationships are now formed completely online, with no real-world interaction, and we need to learn to accept that. ?Cool? people are now even getting hooked on this trend. Now the IM chats are relationship-oriented, even dictating the beginning and the end of these relationships, and all of the little events and points of interest in between. Is it so wrong that these people, who have formed virtual relationships, deserve the right to call these relationships legitimate and equate them with real-life ones? If not, don?t these relationships deserve the same amount of acknowledgement and respect that real-life relationships do? In this situation, relationships, although completely internet-based, came to an end when one of the participants died. Here came these ignorant assholes, determined to reek havoc?
Dear god. I need to get some sleep. I sound like a fvking high school video tape about teen drinking or something?.

I hope no one here doesn't think that this wasn't staged
an Efuneral (if there is such a thing) was held for a charcter who belonged to the horde (lets just say team 1). The alliance (the opposite team i guess you can say) comes in a raids the funeral with about 20-30 guys and does a blizgreig to the 60 or so unsuspected members attending the funeral.
THey first all gang bang the WOW character of the person that died. Then they masacred everyone.
