Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Something similar happened in PlanetSide a few months back. There was an in-game funeral being held for him inside of a capitol dome [basically, enemy vehicles cannot get inside]. Enemies were let in, I don't think a single enemy fired a shot.

Keyword: "Enemy".

An outfit that was part of the same empire as the player who died came flying through the dome and carpet bombed the funeral.


The same faction as the deceased player?


Now THAT is low.

Now I know it isn't possible in the same scale, but imagine it.

Wouldn't be too funny, would it?

As far as I'm aware they weren't doing it to deliberately disrespect the person who had died, they just saw it as a chance to kill the enemy faction.

still, its harsh, what if jka had a rival faction like another forum with loads of members, they could've infultrated us and crashed our memorial. so it is kinda the same :). although we all do agree the mourners should have choosen a better place =)

The place to stage the funeral should have been better thought tbh. I still wonder why they'd do it in a PVP zone, as said, that's just asking for trouble.

Well if that was last wish of dead or something like that, tough.

The situation itself is diffrent yes. I pointed that out. I asked to imagine a scenario where something like this would be possible to happen.

WoW is open servers. And it couldn't be stopped now of course. And I am not even telling people that finding it funny is wrong. Thats your view of it.

I am just pointing out the other side of the ballpark. Just as so it is not lost by circumstance.

I'd just like to point out that the context was completely different.

The JA servers have their own set of rules, and anybody who tried anything like that would have been banned for life, an rightly so.

The WoW funeral was on a PVP server and in an area where it could be attacked. It had no guarantee of protection at all. Yes, the guys who attacked it were jerks, but the funeral could just as easily have fallen afoul of a raiding party that didn't even know there was a funeral going on.

Come to think of it, the forum thread when this was in the planning stage openly speculated that people would come to make trouble. If they knew this to be likely--and they obviously did--then why oh why wasn't it planned to avoid such a thing? Somebody mentioned Leroy Jenkins...Is anybody getting suspicious that this was staged just like that one was just to make a notorious video?

ok, kinda funny how thye totally owned those poor mourners. but also very very harsh. thats not real pvp, that is slaughtering people who are trying to pay their respects to a fellow gammer. Imagine how we would feel if we were holding a memorial for Vlad and a bunch of idiots joined the server and killed us all? i know i'd be angry.
although its kinda their own fault for doing it in a pvp zone :(

I saw the video and.... Leeroy Jenkins, you have been replaced.

Sure the death of the player is sad, but that was the funniest WoW video ever.

I just told my wife this story. She thought it was awful but also pointed out something I hadn't thought of. Throughout history, when a national leader or a leader of a warring faction dies and other leaders attend his funeral, there has been a lot of security on hand, and everybody has looked suspiciously at the faction whose leader is not planning to attend. So there's kind of a real-world precedent.

Weddings historically have been somewhat dangerous too. Know why the groom stands to the right and the bride to the left? It's because the groom typically wore his sword on the left and drew it with his right hand, so he stood in the right to have a clear space to draw his sword quickly if the wedding were attacked.

Thats not right. It may just seem like a group of players doing something, but to them this might have been the only way they could pay thier respects to a fellow player. Those dudes are ***********!!!!!111
