WoW funeral/memorial service gets crashed.

They deserved to get crashed like that. No one likes it when you take a cartoony game and try to make it resemble real life. I mean.. no one cries when they get shot in Counterstrike.. why attempt to have a funeral in a contested area? or in game at all?


Though.. my criticism is that WoW has some highly disorganized pvp.. I'm a jaded Shadowbane player, though, who is used to pvp precision.

 
Wait, the lady really died and they crashed her online funeral. I thought she was in on it. That is messed up.

I guess online, it doesn't really matter too much, but people were trying to pay their respect. Oh well...
 
That video was done really well. I loved the switching between the serene scene with Mozart's Requiem playing and the chaotic approach of Serenity Now with "I'm an Asshole" playing... 😀
 
My buddy got arrested on warrants at his fathers funeral. The day before, at the wake, his sister who he didn't get along with was there with her husband, and knew my friend had warrants, and also that having her husband there would anger him. They got into an altercation in the parking lot of the funeral home, and I got my buddy to go back to his hotel and not fight there. He had come up to Rhode Island from Florida for this affair, and she does this.

Well, the next day at the funeral, the bitch sister had called the cops and had them stake my friend out, and arrest him for the warrants, which they did. I had to bail him out, and he missed his father's funeral. The joke is on her though, because she and her hobo husband died a year ago of a drug overdose.

At my grandfather's funeral, my brother, who doesn't get along with my mom for various reasons(neither do I), was arguing with her right in front of the whole funeral about something stupid. I stuck up for her, and that ended up with my brother and I getting into a fist fight in the parking lot and me leaving, and like my buddy, missing the funeral. No arrest for me though. This is all true btw.

Wow, after reading the original post thoroughly, I see that my post doesn't really fit in, but it is funny nonetheless, so I will leave it. That will teach me to post before reading the whole post, and assuming the title says it all.

Yea, I apologise to the OP, as I thought the thread was about a real funeral being crashed. I'll edit it out if asked.

"Ok, let me sort of explain what happened. A friend of mine on the server Illidan tipped me off about some "illidrama" that was happening on his server. (He's a 60 Nelf Priest) Anyway, a person on the horde side died in RL. So some of the horde people decided to hold a memorial service for her on the game. They logged onto her character and moved it to winterspring next to a lake so everyone could come from both factions for the memorial service. There were around 40 to 50 horde (possibly more) in a line for the "viewing of the body" when suddenly out of nowhere, a 60 nelf rogue ambushes the dead person's character, kills her, and the rest of an alliance guild (SERENITY NOW) sprinted in over the hill, and AOE bombed the entire memorial service, killing everyone. They even made a pvp video of it, which I have seen, and it was hysterical. I feel terrible that they did this at a memorial service for a person in game that was evidently a pretty good person. But, at the same time, 1. the memorial service was held in a contested zone, and 2. its about the funniest thing ever."

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).
