The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart

Posted by chrisd on from the death-online dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here's a picture of Warsingers funeral. Warsinger was an in-game persona in the rather good MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot". and generally well-liked. The real person behind Warsinger was a 32-year-old with heart trouble, who really died. So the players on his server organized an in-game funeral.At the funeral, players from the three realms of Camelot, who normally kill each other gleefully on sight, stood in the shape of a heart (check the pic above); the two figures in the center of the heart are Warsinger's real-life sister and girlfriend."

    Good point, I believe anyone would is not capable of producing in society whether they can or not should be put down. I mean that's what a smart farmer does to animals. As a matter of fact why don't you hold the gun. You can get rid of all the fat slobs you sit around doing nothing, the recluses who give nothing, the severally physically disabled who can't do anything, and those with IQ lower than 40 who are too stupid to contribute anything.
    But wait! If we kill off the stupid people then you would be the first to go.

    Even death has become too easy, you can sorrow online and forget it tomorrow.

    Next we just need some Firemen to burn all the bodies as soon as they die. Maybe throw some books in with him.

    why is this pathetic? Simusid Hawke, Level 42 Armsman

    I'd taunt you, but you've taken all the sport out of it.

    If you're not getting it, then the hint is that signing yourself "Level 42 Armsman" is a pretty good contradiction of your own assertions. Let me remind you:

    Yes, this is a game, but no it does NOT substitute for real life. We are not detatched from reality.

    I'd recommend that your stop spreading your game persona to "real life" (as far as Slashdot counts in that respect). Doing so is a good indication that you are indeed detached from the reality perceived by people outside your game.
