The Realm isn't real life, it is an online game. Whether this is the first time such people request it isn't the point. What about other well known realmers who have died? They don't deserve memorials? No where does it say in the game contract or in the licencing agreement that they are obligated to create memorials for anyone. I do not know the person, but this has nothing to do with Skywise IMO this has to do with giving a memorial to one person, when others will not be able to get memorials as well. When relatives or friends pass, we need time to mourn and realize what has happened..but creating a memorial in an online game is the wrong thing to do for ANYONE. (Anyone should be underlined) I would say the same thing if it were one of my own relatives you have died. Also people tend to just "agree" with everyone else. I read these posts and many of the peopel saying I "Second" it etc. are just going along with the crows, not even thinking about the conseuqences of this. If one person is going to get a memorial, then others who have family members who die should get them to. It's not "first come first server" as lalanna said because they do not HAVE to do this. there is not "first come first serve" poicy for a memorial of a deceased person. I can understand the grief people may have had, but people play online games to ESCAPE from reality..not to be reminded of a deceased person every time they play. To create such a thing in a fantasy online game would be an extremely unethical thing to do. A relative of mine died recently, and I mourned, and I cried, and I grieved, and I felt terrible and couldn't sleep for days and felt empty and upset. But I would NEVER ask that they place such a thing in a FANTASY GAME for this relative of mine. It's a GAME. People need to separate reality from fantasy. If one person gets a memorial, then why shouldn't my deceased realitve or any other person's deceased relative? "First come first server?" That is HARDLY a reason. I'm probably going to be flamed for this, and thought of as a cold, dirty, low down person..and if that is so then be it. MANY people who have died were good people and known by many..but that doesn't make their life or previous presence any more valuable than any other person's life. We need to grieve, then move on. Not try to infiltrate real life problems into an online GAME. It's compeltely unethical. Prepare me now with your name calling and bitterness. I'm all ready for it.
