Im not exactly sure how to go about this, and its a bit of a lengthy post so ill try to cut it as short as I can.
A guild mate of mine and someone I played with for a very, very long time, is no longer with us. Sadly he passed away and I found out months later. He didnt log on for quite awhile and after months of stalking and such, I found out from his mother that my buddy passed away at his college. I was devastated and it still bothers me. I was wondering if theres anyway his toon or account name or something could get a grave stone in game? His mother was aware of how much he loved GW2 and even knew about me and other guildies which I thought was awesome. This may be a far fetched or weird request but its just something thats been on my mind for awhile. That is all, happy (30 min past but whatever) Thanksgiving.

His main characters name was/is Cee Pee, and his alt was/is Captain Platypus and Its Me Cee Pee. If anyone out there ever ran into him on TC, know that he loved this community like we were his real life friends. Again, thanks for reading, gnite.

Azure, I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. This is a lovely tribute to him.

I’d support this idea as a nice memento to a player who loved the game. I hope the devs respond in some way.

Thank you guys! His mom has been trying to log into his GW2 account to contact people on his friends list. It was really satisfying finding her and talking to her. Shes a great woman and he was a great great guy. GW2 meant a lot to him.

As much as your suggestion might be a nice tribute, it may have several shortcomings.

What would stop people from creating a character and then, after some time, deleting it and saying, or having a friend/guildie/whoever say that person passed away, and could they get a memorial? As creepy as it sounds, some players might like to have recognition in the game, and would use this as a way to get it.

Let’s say the CS Team closed any account that this service was provided for, to keep players from gaining said recognition without merit. What would keep a mean-spirited player from contacting the Devs and saying some other account’s owner had passed away, and thus the account should be closed? Either scenario would cause extra work for the CS Team to investigate. Would a death certificate be necessary to prove said passing?

Maybe you could create a character named after your friend/guildie as a memorial to him. Or a personal Guild, or name a pet. That might be seen more than a gravestone, and could honor your friend’s memory.

Good luck.

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s hard to lose a friend, whether it’s a real life friend or an online friend.

well, I have his online obituary, article of his death, and more. I fully expected that it could be questioned so im prepared. Obviously its not something I want to just post and such, but if its possible and thats what is required, its not an issue. Plus his mother would be absolutely THRILLED! (she has his character on her facebook, so awesome)

Sorry for your loss mate.
And I support your idea – it would be a very nice thing to do to remember him.

Sorry for your loss and best of luck in talking with Arenanet. Be prepared to give your evidence though, no offense.

Oh, and don’t post that stuff here. When Arenanet contact you, if they do, give it to them and only them.

A lot of other games have done this sorta stuff, and i think Arenanet will reach out to you. That said, let us know what happens!

It’s not unprecedented with Anet, so there may be hope.

Good luck.

I would say the forums aren’t the correct place to request this, but a letter directly to the company or even an email would likely be seen by the people you would it to be seen by and open up a more direct dialogue.

It shouldn’t be too hard to find the details on the website – I know someone else wrote directly to them and got an acknowledgement.

Good luck

yes. this is a very far-fetched request and likely nothing will be done to honor your friend in game. i wish it was possible but were talking about anet here.

I’d second that a letter written to the company might go over better and get more attention from those that could do this. And I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s really sweet of you to want to honor him in some way.

I have often thought servers should have a Memory Wall, just a place where former players names could be listed it could even include NPCs if the Devs liked. It doesn’t sound hard to put together at least not to me.

The cemetery next to DR would only need the swapping out of a tombstone or two for a really cool memorial.

I support this.

There already are memory walls in LA, for the people lost/missing; it would surely be pretty easy to add a few more posters, not with rl names of course but with character names, that would be very cool

Maybe they should implement something like a graveyard in the mists as memorial for those players. So the guildmates can visit him from time to time in the virtual world.

It’s not a case of not being worthy, it’s Thanksgiving weekend (I think??) and they are prob on a brief break between heavy workloads, so aren’t checking the forums as much.

That and Devs rarely respond to posts title “dev response”, the forum is not their primary method of contact between the players and the Devs (it wouldn’t be the devs you need to talk to anyway as they don’t make these kinds of decisions) and posts titled in that way are usually trolls or highly opinionated posts.

If you really want to speak to Anet about this then you need to use their primary method of contact, the support ticket system as you will very rarely get a response here.

Yes we are talking about Anet, and someone has posted an example of them honoring a fan in a similar way earlier in the thread.

Anyhow, sorry about your loss, hope a dev will see this
